Fire him now, before he creates the minefield in your codebase.

I mean, try to fix him first. But if he refuses to be fixed, fire him. He'll be toxic to the codebase, and he'll be toxic to the culture.

True dat. He could easily become toxic. Give him a chance, but if he's the type that rejects reason (they are around), just let him go for damage limitation.
