Yeah, that's probably the typical invasive catfish at work. It's worse when those people get promoted after fixing a fire they created, but that happens with non-grinders too, probably more correlated with political persuasion skills to push through risky and sweeping things while forcing dependence (fire fuel) by other teams. Still there are programming gods like Carmack who embrace the grind and put out good shit. It'd be fun to work on a team full of those for a while though they might not enjoy me as much when I tire of the grind.
