Except in real life people sometimes make malicious "mistakes" deliberately and when caught and called out on them either completely dismiss them or even gloat. This reads almost like a fairy tale.

Oh his behalf, I apologize. I literally started laughing at a junior's code once but in my defense, he had spent 3 years at Amazon.
Maybe I don't get the joke, but why is this a defense? (I had a collegue at my last company who worked at Amazon before. His code was just fine.)

A minority of people are toxic, you start by cutting them slack as you'd do anyone else, then you cut them off. It's not really a problem.

Nobody should be deploying to production on Friday... Nobody.
Easier said than done. It's best avoided, of course. But when on a startup you generally cannot afford to be an idealist.

When he returned to the air field, Bob Hoover walked over to the man who had nearly caused his death and, according to the California Fullerton News-Tribune, said: “There isn’t a man alive who hasn’t made a mistake. But I’m positive you’ll never make this mistake again. That’s why I want to make sure that you’re the only one to refuel my plane tomorrow. I won’t let anyone else on the field touch it.”
i am a huge fan of the turn of the century dancer isadora duncan and her lover who she first had a child with, the theatre set design theorist, edward gordon craig who she affectionately called endymion
a complete aside, but if you have, or anyone reading this has, yet to read duncan's autobiography 'my life' i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone
she is a brilliant writer, lived an eccentric life, and she was and her writing is imbued with a mad passion for expression and both life's hardships and joys

I'm sorry, but you have no defense. Laughing at a junior developer'a code is completely inexcusable. Simple fact is, if you worked for me, I would have fired you for that. Junior devs are supposed to do bad things - that's why they aren't senior devs.
