There is a person in our company who 90% of the time writes WAY more code than is needed to get the job done. You can get 20 levels deep in it and still not know what it's doing. Royal Pain and time consuming to debug.

Many times I have taken huge amounts of their code and reduced it by at least 50% most times more.

I honestly think he does it on purpose so he is the only one who even semi understands it. Do when it breaks they look like the hero when it breaks and somebody or multiple somebody's have tried to fix it he can step in and look like a hero and fix it.

Their biggest skill is taking some thing that could be 50 inline lines of code and turning it into 500 and 3 APIs or external calls to other functions/module's
