There don't seem to be a shortage of people like that, but they are generally terrible to work with unless you have equal equity/enthusiasm.

- scollet 5y agoI used to be like this. One of my greatest friends and associates lives for life itself. When we first collaborated on a project I had gotten a head start on it and was investing crazy hours. As if it were the rule, I burnt out after the core implementation was done. That's when his super powers kicked in. While I had been toiling and feeling like a solo dev for my "heroic" commitment, he had been intimately learning my code and was fresh to build all the required features on top. I learned a really valuable lesson about the nature of teamwork. To this day, if someone slightly lifts a finger or sounds the quietest of utterances, they're still doing more than I should ever expect.
