This pilot fish is an IT team lead, and most of his software developers are fine -- but then there's Fred."He had been a mechanic, and had no real computer training," says fish.

"He took a one-week programming class, and then somehow convinced an IT manager that he was a programmer and was hired."I had the honor of being Fred's lead.

He knew nothing.

Once, when he was having a problem, I told him to copy several lines of code into his program without changing any of them.

When he came back and said that it still wasn't working, I found he had totally rewritten it into gibberish."When the project was about to be delivered to the testers, his code still wasn't working.

Over the next week, I totally rewrote his code.

At least he thanked me.
