You have to integrate company A system with company B.
You look up B`s api documentation, write the necessary code, test it thoroughly. Done

A wild dev from B has appeared!!!

him > you cannot use this SDK to implement this solution. You must use a different one...

You > (coming back to him after scouring through the docs) . Ok which sdk is it then? I can't find it anywhere. Could you send it to me pls?
him > I don't kbow, my knowledge doesn't go that far. Send an email to the dev department.

After sending the email, and spending a couple of days trying to figure out which sdk was he referring to. His department answers that the sdk you should use, is the one you already used. The only one they have.

A couple of days lost, because certain smart-ass could not refrain himself from meddling in the project.

What would you do?

Note: Killing him is out of the question :)

    Ignore company B and integrate company C instead, to spite him

    File an official complaint and contact your finance department and ask for them to send a bill for them wasting valuable time.

    "Killing him is out of the question"

    Sounds like a job for a contractor.

    Make sure that your boss is aware of that. That's his job to deal with this kind of crap, not yours.
