Same exist in humans also, I worked with a developer who had 15 year experience and was tech lead in a big Indian firm, We started something together, 3 months back when I checked the Tables I was shocked to see how he fucked up and messed the DB. Finally the only option left with me was to quit because i know it will break in production and if i onboarded a single customer my life would be screwed. He mixed many things with frontend and offloaded even permissions to frontend, and literally copied tables in multiple DB (We had 3 services). I still cannot believe how he worked as a tch lead for 15 years. each DB had more than 100 tables and out of that 20-25 were duplicates. He never shared code with me, but I smelled something fishy when bug fixing was never ending loop and my front end guy told me he cannot do it anymore. Only mistake I did was I trusted him and worst part is he is my cousin and the relation became sour after i confronted him and decided to quit.

How did he not share code if you're working together?

yes, it was my mistake. I trusted him because he was my childhood friend and my cousin. He was a tech lead in CMMI Level 5 (serving fortune 500 firms) company at the time he joined with me. I had the trust that he will never ran away with the code and that trust is still there, also the entire feature, roadmap and vision was with me, so I thought code doesn't matter. It was a big learning for me.

That's a crazy story. That confrontation must have been a difficult one :/

Absolutely. But I never had any choice. It was Do or Die.

Input your roadmap into an llm of your choosing and see if you can create that code.

I can, but I switched to something more challenging. I handed over all things to him and told, Iam no more interested. I don't want him to feel that i cheated him by creating something he worked on.

This sounds like a culture issue in the development process, I have seen this prevented many times. Sure I did have to roll back a feature I did not sign off just before new years. So as you say it happens.
