Discussion on: Have you ever had a colleague who routinely gets undue praise for flawed code?

 Strong team work exposes posers very quickly. It also levels the playing field because everyone has the opportunity to work on their weaknesses in a safe environment.

Inside the team this is true, but I have seen multiple occurrences where management has no clue. If someone is taking credit for work they aren’t doing or is mischaracterizing their work how is management supposed to know if no one tells them?

Yeah, it sounds like a cultural problem. Work is not transparent enough. Progress is not incremental enough. The people involved are not talking openly enough to each other. Probably not a very healthy environment for growth.
