WOW. From interacting with him on bug reports, I'm surprised to read that. I think the problem was he was never a practicing engineer, so he didn't understand things like unit tests, the fact that we need to fix a bug in october, or make a change in october for the thanksgiving weekend-- we got told to defer on something that he then filed a ticket for the middle of the night before thanksgiving. Etc.
