Worst of many. Had to work with someone who could be accurately described as a monkey in trousers with strategically cut fur.

Him: "I have refactored code now I have to refactor all your goddamn unit tests"
Me: "so?"
<silence>
<checks his commit>
Me: "why have you commented out every single line in all the unit tests?"
Him: "I DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE ANY UNIT TEST. THEY ADD TIME".
Me:"You cannot be serious. Apart from the obvious mistake in judgement why in the name of blue buggery fuck did you not delete the files? Have you not heard of source history?"
Him:"...."

I became his lead.
He left.

    Interesting how he “doesn’t believe in unit tests”. I mean would he sit in a car with software that was not unit tested? Or an airplane? Fuck I wouldn’t even get into any of those if I was part of writing the code, let alone no one unit testing the code.

    @zshh needless to say his big ratio was quite large. This irredeemable fuckwit (with apologies) introduced 5 extras for every one he addressed. On. Fucking. Average.

    It regularly took 4 hrs to drum the simplest concepts into his skull. Such as "must do" does not mean "must not do", and "pay attention to detail" does not mean "go to the bathroom and masturbate like a chimpanzee for 2 hours".

    The clueless spastic (again apologies, disabled people are not to blame) thought he'd get a pay rise by shouting "I'm a highly skilled wpf dev" at recruitment agents all within 2 metres of the CTOs office.

    @DenzilPenburthy woah sounds like a real jackass to work with. I hope your current team members are better.
