All I can say is he must be a really good programmer if he needed to deliberately install logic bombs to make his software malfunction after a period of time. I've got my hands full just making things work properly in the first place!

Yeah, really, this is the first programmer I've ever heard of who had lacked bugs to be fixed. There's always new stuff to work on.

Maybe he was only used for some older niche stuff that was going out of style and he was trying to cling to the past.

That or he's hired by people who don't peer review at all, as in he's the only developer.

Still, I think the point remains having the time to even do this is astounding.. can't even keep up getting all my code to work properly in the first place as a mostly single developer!

Or just the usual periodic business logic changes.

That's because he's a boomer who probably knows asm. There were no wannabes in this field back in the day.
