TL;DR; - Argh!
This chump always asks me 3 questions directly in a row :
- are you doing ok
- need any help
- have any questions for me
The annoying part of that is that he can't do anything at all if I say no, or that I need help, and he can't answer any questions at all.
He was not able to change styles one day when I was gone because he didn't remember that the styl middleware would overwrite his stuff.... on top of that he edited stuff on the tablet itself (so not to mess up the code in the editor) instead of using source control, so the automatic update scripts we wrote for the demo tablets couldn't sync because the changes were not saved/committed. (I found all this out after on my own... when stuff stopped working).
He has no way of working in this code at all.
The only reason he even asks is so he can seem engaged. He tells everyone that he's up with the code base and is working on stuff concurrently with me. He says we don't need regular meetings with anyone but me and him (because it was starting to cause an accountability issue on his part [ read - expose him]) because we have "regular quick meetings"
so he counts those 3 questions as "a quick 2 minute meeting to stay up to speed".
I'm so happy I'm leaving soon  I hear a definite answer about the remote job on Tuesday.
--update--
We just had a meeting with everyone.
He was saying it again. He "has been working on that on the weekend" and "is going to jump right in with me on Monday". There was one other thing I'll be doing that "He is going to do this weekend". He's not going to do anything more than he already has... which is nothing.
I have mentioned this to others. That's why we started having the regular meetings.. which have just become a joke. I've been pushing for them to hire someone for a couple months now. I think they are going to regret not listening.

What... is the air-speed velocity of an un-laden swallow?

An African or European swallow?
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I need to know, lest I'd be catapulted of the bridge.

I think I worked with that bloke at another place.
When he did type (not code) he created the most horrendous hilarity of hacked up hummock that the mind could fathom.
You just hoped he didn't type at all.

I know these people get jobs (there's always one at every company). I don't get how they keep them.
Poor management, nepotism, blackmail... who knows?
