The trick is to be just competent enough that you are better than nothing, but so incompetent that it takes twice as long to get shit done. Like I work with two guys like that right now. They are going to get 75% of their work done at the deadline and have an excuse for the last 25%. Then that 25% will be used to extend the next deadline and then they will do it again. By the time we get to the end of the project they will have caused weeks of delays, but its still better than having no one to do the work.
