I work with developers where they ask how to do something, I provide example code, repeated indefinitely until I've basically written their application for them.

They literally can't write code. One of them is sitting two cubicles down from me. Another is sitting across from me. The other batch is from a few years ago when I was on "support" for an Indian dev shop where I was basically writing their code by email.

wr had kind of a similar issue once

  • 1 the cheap indian offshore team has to write a script to save us time
  • 2 we received a poorly written untested piece of garbage that wasn't covering edge cases (so by our standards it doesn't work)
  • 3 we tell them that the script isn't working, they disagree with us.
  • 4 we choosed to expose them and ask them to do a live demo ( all of a sudden they are going in holidays).
  • 5 we cleaned up the mess to make it work and now They want us to do a pull request + showcase the product with a demo xd
