I love this idea of the asshole getting transferred to a new project, removed from said project shortly after, only to be put back on the project after another short period.

Haha! Take that, asshole!

This whole thing reads not like a codebase versus, but a traditional engineering approach (don’t act like you can patch this once you release it - get it done so it’s stable the first time) versus the more modern “move fast and break things” approach.
