Counterpoint: every time I meet someone who is perceived this way, they’re definitely an asshole, but their “productivity” is often mostly corner-cutting. Other devs irritation with them is often conflating the technical unprofessionality with the team unprofessionality. Managers are lousy at actually judging the productivity in these situations. You 100% can ditch these people and your productivity will rise. You just won’t have some asshole claiming the credit for other people’s work anymore. Funnily enough, I just tracked down a problem that significantly affected the calculation of how much money something cost down to an issue one of these geniuses introduced by thinking they were too good for regular, dull, due diligence in their development practices.
