I am also posting anonymously deliberately.
I have experienced a similar situation, at an investment bank, whereby the boss has an enormous ego and puts team members under stress to OUTPUT, OUTPUT. I was very surprised to see a complete lack of use of modules.. even CGI was avoided. The scary part was the boasting on the part of the boss. He would regularly boast how he created a system or series of webpages in a matter of hours! And yet, the code was near unmaintainable.. and even worse, had little or no error checking. I eventually chose to leave, both because of the imposed stress to OUTPUT OUTPUT, and because I was being accused by this boss of writing faulty code, when on each occasion that he did so, debugging proved faults in libraries he had written. Personally I would never invest in that bank, knowing how regularly this particular individual demands major SQL changes and bypasses authorisation and auditing processes.
