Shipping untested , undocumented code is pretty easy.
Sure, but shipping untested, undocumented code in 3 days that is bug free, fast, rock solid and does everything it's supposed to do on the first try, takes a certain sort of talent. They might make very annoying colleagues, and the people who have to follow them might curse their names, but they're not "bad programmers".

If you're talking about building a basic UI or a service, most decent developers should be able to churn out working code in a couple of days. If you're referring to something low level or very algorithmically tricky then sure there are obviously some geniuses amongst us whose presence we must learn to tolerate
