I worked with a guy who did 12 hour days, closed tons of tickets but his code was full of bugs. We were writing trading software and he would handle errors by silently failing.

I worked with someone else who didn’t have a computer at home. Their coding style was “write code that I don’t have to support, I don’t want to get emails while I’m sleeping”. They wrote mega defensive and very boring code. Their code never has any bugs, but they took longer to write it.

Enjoyed working with person two, despised person one.

According to management, person two was not known and person one was a rockstar.
