> Some developers who code really fast might appear like they're being extremely productive but behind the scenes, you end up having a whole team of developers who are just fixing that developer's bugs.

This is very prevalent at my job. There are a couple of developers who have a reputation of being really fast. "Wow, he closed 25 tickets the last hour!". In reality he mainly rejected them or made quick fixes which didn't work or created new bugs. A not insignificant amount of time in a recent project I had was focused on rewriting code said developer had written.
