    There’s this one guy in the office who were so adamantly anti writing documentation, he basically pored through the contract to find loopholes to state that doing documentation is not actually part of his job description.

      I love it when uppity kids think they have a “job description” the allows them to not do things.

      Your job is what the manager says it is, or you find a new one.

      This guy either believes his code is god level (and has a huge ego), or just a crappy coder who can’t explain what he wrote.

        You forgot the most probable option the documentation they want is dog shit. Internal documents are almost universally garbage that is out of date and doesn’t cover the important decisions, it just reiterates what is obvious from reading the code.
