After more than a year at a small company the lead developer decided to take some vacation. He revealed to me that at one point an important customer requested a daily summary feature for their account. I was horrified to find out that since there were some tricky bits he didn't actually implement the feature. Instead he signed on every night right at 9pm and hyped up the summary. I refused to take over and helped implement the actual automatic summary feature.

- Cerium 9y ago"Hyping" was an auto correct typo, I didn't notice until it was too late. I meant to type "typing". My coworker was typing up a fake automated email every night as close to 9pm as possible. I didn't want to do that, since it is invasive to my schedule and would take place on my own time. Instead, we solved the problems and implemented the actual feature.
