No, they don't.
I am actually being called in to clean up their mess.

That's why you need a good peer-review system.
For one thing, it encourages people to make a little more effort to get it right first time, because they realise that trying to save time will cost a lot more.
For another, when everyone is used to others finding gaffes in their work, and critiquing it honestly and openly, it gets rid of any ego problems.

There have been times I've considered homicide as a method for handling this, yes.

My experience is, that people who are writing bad code have also bad habits. So I often critize bad code to hit these guys.
God bless we only a small amount of this slack. (but I know one - one of my collegues)

Ask rather how one will react to the news that he has been made a plural.
This fear of he, him, and his as the standard generic singular pronouns has gone far enough. Men, find your balls. Women, get over yourselves.

Poorly written code that works, and keeps on working, triumphs over elegant code that hasn't been deployed or doesn't work.
Also, having the 'OK' button in the right spot means more to users than the architecture of your solution.
I've based my 12 year career on putting out crap code that works.

Hey, you're the one with the pseudo name "Slacker"
p.s. Don't pick on the "senior" coders - I am very senior and take great pride in producing quality stuff.
p.s.s. Where's the wink-wink smiley? That emoticon was done with a ';'.

The universe has provided these idiots to serve you: thanks to them, you will never be unemployed.
I do feel, however, that the universe should provide a type of "buy four, get one free" policy - i.e. after having cleaned up the mess that four of them have made, you should be allowed legally to murder the fifth one. It's only sanitary, after all...
