This rather sounds like a problem about the project manager and the project management methods that he uses.




No. I had a time in my career where I was the guy who finished projects that other people started and couldn't finish.

Some coders really don't have discipline and projects never get done because they don't think things throw and keep sending half-baked patches that get sent back by test or the customer.

The role of management is to get those people working for their competitor and then have the "fixer" move in.
