> Is it possibly not a management problem at the core? I mean, I know exactly what you mean about suits like to ignore the future, but I've worked with a few 'wizards' who, once they've got the job under their belt, use it to keep other people out. > They'll not comment, help, document or whatever, and once they're doing that, they are uncontrollable. They can't be sacked because they're the only ones keeping the system running, and they won't help others train up. That seems a very difficult situation for the suits to deal with, even if they want to. This sounds _exactly_ like a failing of management to me. If developers are expected or allowed to "just code" without documenting anything or training anyone, management is absolutely to blame for allowing it to go on.
