#4 Genius Developer Rewrites in a Weekend
I worked at a company, where 2 very senior developers spent 4 months writing some software. The whole company had been involved at one time or another to give advice and presentations after presentations. But when they finished it ran really badly it leaked memory and crashed every time it ran.
One of the other developers was definitely on the spectrum, he could not even manage to shake hands, never spoke in a meeting, conversation was unusual when talking to him. But he said he would fix it and left early on Friday. On Monday he presented it 100% working and vastly faster. But he had given up on fixing it and just decided to rewrite 4 months of 2 full time developers and he did it over the weekend.
