It sounds like this guy needs to have his head whacked with a large stick. If you're supposed to be writing code to run within that framework, and you weren't handed an interface specification, something is seriously wrong. If this guy gets hit by a truck tomorrow, where's that company (and their code) going to be?

I'ts my contention if people are doing things *that* evil, with no documentation, then they belong in a research facility, not writing production code. Companies *cannot* afford to be reliant on something like that.

It's not job security, it is a company being held hostage. Demand better.
