i used to work with a guy like this as well. he was about 6 years into the company i had just been hired into. he was a sr designer/developer. i was an art director. he'd preach pixel perfect PSDs and make it a point to call out any design that wasn't. like in photoshop when using the ellipse tool, sometimes if zoomed in you'd get that fuzzy extra bit of pixels on one or more of the edges. he'd call you out mid-pitch and say "did you mean for this to be 121px, like as shown with the extra fuzz or 120px?" i let him act a fool for 2 months until he finally got to show the finished site he had developed off of the PSD. that's when i brought out firefox's pixel perfect tool. boy was his work off. and, i knew more than enough css code to kindly critique that as well. i said with this type of end result it wouldn't matter if the PSDs were pixel perfect, as he couldn't build it pixel perfect anyways.
that ended that.
short story long he disliked me from the beginning because he worked there for 6 years and i came in off the street as an art director above him. he held it against me from the beginning. he was later fired for posting his work, in progress on facebook, which was against policy and he'd also friended the owner of the company.
