So, the developer is overconfident. Have you tried coaching this person into understanding this? I feel that is part of good management.

That's not what they bargained for when they hired a senior person. Basic coding questions would have filtered him.

We've had several sit-downs. The problem with a low-skilled senior developer is you'll never convince them that they are writing junior-level code. It would shatter their world view.
