OK, what are your real life examples? :) I'm trying to see through the myth.

Plenty of examples of crappy code on Stack Overflow, not so many examples of crappy managers.
Again, are you kidding me? It sure has some fabricated pieces, but I've seen tons of similar examples in real life, working with other programmers and project managers.
Heck, you can find tons of DailyWTF worthy material even in Stack Overflow questions and answers, and those are 100% legit non-fiction.
