I'd leave the code exactly as it is (no point getting fired in your next job for something you did in your last... ).
However just before you I would tell the toe-rag (in a 'slightly anxious' way), that you weren't able to iron-out all the bugs and there's one or two 'glitches' in it that he'll have to deal with. Be vague about what and where they are.
That ought to get the old sphincter muscles twitching...

McQ, why didn't you simply tell the manager that as you wrote it, if they have any queries with using the code after you have left, he is welcome to give you a quick phone call?

Or you could just throw a few quirky bits in the code that don't really affect the functionality but do annoying things like randomly flash up "Joe Bloggs is a thieving tw*t". If you set it up in the same way as subliminal advertising was supposed to work then maybe you'll manage to make everyone agree without quite knowing why...
Subscribe his email address to loads of dodgy sites.
Hand out his phone number to loads of shifty companies.

Don't they have some SCM tools (like SourceUnSafe or SVN). Just export the damn changelog and email it to everyone and leave.

I happen to do a car share with the 2nd in command in the dev team ... I bit my tongue on the way home tonight for the reason mentioned above - it's not good to sour things with a client by looking petty....
I think i'll cut his head off instead.
You've got the whinging tart-like behaviour down to a tee!

Don't worry JB, ill go permie, then behead him....
Originally posted by dminiUnless of course, everyone knows you were doing the development beforehand - at which point management sit there, listen to him, smile sweetly, say what a brilliant idea, and laugh at him behind his back. Seen that happen before. What they said to his face, and about him when he wasn't there were VERY different.
Revenge can be very subtle, and sweet!
Mildly irksome to then have someone so blatantly 'mug me' in broad daylight I guess!
Oh well, another glass of Chablis and a quick trip over to Test Please Delete is in order I think....

So how long is it going to take him to fix the bugs that are suddenly appearing in "his code", After all, he cannot ask you to fix them can he - seeing as it is his code.

No need to go to extremes mcquiggd, you'll give the rest of us a bad rep.
My suggestion, just delete all the code, the stuff in source control and whereever else it is and problem solved, no-one can take credit for something which no longer exists.
Jeez, it's like teaching people how to scratch their a*se on this board.

Well if he 'wrote' it then surely he'll have to support it when it goes wrong!!!
