Short of more details, this sounds like organizational failure as a whole versus the failure of one developer. Was this one developer the founder or something? It doesn't make sense they got away with so much and no push back from the team?

Should it be one developers job to do more than 20% of the job when it comes to shipping an entire companies products/services?

It feels like you're poo-pooing the idea of a Lone Ranger coder, while being annoyed the person didn't do 100% of the work? If it's supposed to be a team effort, why should they do more than 20% of the job. The rest of the team should be contributing the other 80%.

Sounds like they were there and fired before you even started. So I'm going to have to /dev/null this post as hearsay.

Having a hard time understanding how this isn't downvoted to oblivion. With all the rhetoric here about quality content and posting only that which moves conversations in a constructive way, this ends up being full of holes and after the fact blame gaming. Rarely useful.
