This guy obviosly worked for some Euro
enterprise.
You would have be fired asap in the States
for that kind of attitude, CEOs DON’T tell
their software engineers there is a bug in
_their_ code. I don’t care how good or
arrogant the software engineer is.
My guess is: that it’s harder to fire people
in Europe.

I’ve worked with ‘brilliant’ developers, who had convinced me at the time they were smarter and more technically advanced than I, but after they moved on and I took over their legacy code, I realized there is a huge difference between ‘genius’ and ‘clever’.

In my experience there is an inverse relationship between developer arrogance and quality of code.

As you said, they guy may be good but his arrogance exceeded his skills. I see that all the time.

I look at bugs as a learning experience. They help you write better unit tests, help you rethink your approach, and improve process.

Yes, we were using regression and integration tests.

Do you use tests (unit tests, regression tests, integration tests) there?
