Can you put this in terms of dollars and cents? If the two pieces of code are largely equivalent, then your co-worker is wasting a lot of the company's money.

Can you put this in terms of dollars and cents? If the two pieces of code are largely equivalent, then your co-worker is wasting a lot of the company's money. If his truly are much better (in a way that matters to the execution of the company's goals), well, then maybe you need to step it up somehow. I'm not sure why your director is not addressing this, but nothing stops you from doing the analysis and presenting the argument.
