likely Rick never could off load his work because of management. he may have been up against a wall of resistance where no one else did anymore than they had too. this is how you get Ricks. You have a general apathy among many of the developers which sets in because they don't see anyone held accountable so why should they exert the effort?

- lukaslalinsky 9y agoThere is also another option, you genuinely like your work. For some reason, the team does not want to get involved and the management fails to notice this. Fixing the mess means either stepping up as a manager, or leaving. In both cases, you lost the work you liked. What do you do?
- scarface74 9y agoWhat is there to like about a job with bad management and bad team dynamics? I also learned the hard way the cost of staying at a job for too long because I got comfortable - or at least was more comfortable with the devil I knew.

But it's also possible that he considered everyone else far below his acceptable level of skill and refused to delegate or allow other people's code into "his" codebase, even going as far as to ignore a team-blocking ticket for months until someone else picks it up, then blocks on the review, then when management finally say "get on this", rewrites it himself and commits his own code without review. What? No, I'm not bitter about recent experiences. Not at all.
