Everyone who's commented here thinks that the Wolf is admirable, and that s/he is perhaps a wolf? "It’s easy to hate the Wolf when you’ve just spent the day writing integration tests, but it’s also easy to admire the fact that they appear to be dictating their own terms." Either the integration tests have value, in which case that bastard ought to chip in, or they're not, in which case you need to find a company with better technical management. Yeah, I'd love to work on green-field code all day, and I think my coworkers would have a different word for me than "wolf" if I contrived to do it.
