But his job is programming. He is very proud of his C skills. If you listen to him, it crashed because C is intrinsically bad (it is difficult yes), but I guess it was also such a bad codebase that rewriting it made sense.
He also holds a grudge against me for having dared to rewrite a sacred C library he wrote (that was a constant source of segfault and I rewrote in 1 afternoon).

Sounds more like his job is producing tech debt. I saw few people like that, basically none of their code was left as most of that needed to be eventually replaced coz it was shit.
