What was the most rubbish developer you had worked with?

I will go first , once I worked with a Dev who used dashes for naming variables (eg _ = 'a' , __ = 'b', ___='c'), placing every everything in the main class . We were working on android (java) project back then. He decided to place everytime in the main activity, rewriting redundant functions. And he never use git, he literally use hard-disk and Google drive to back up his code which made us difficult to know which part of code he wrote. I quit working there because he was the Senior Project Manager.

    I have to deal with code written by an Idiot that thinks the else statement is a luxury and should not be used. Rather write code like:
    if { return; } if { return; }

    A dev writing 400+ lines of code functions to avoid context switching…

    Also writing long af conditions inside if statements cause otherwise “we use extra memory”

    @EdoPhoenix early return is more clean than if else but idk, in your case seem like the second if have the negative result of the first if statement so the if is unnecessary.
