Legal built something with customer data and no permissions

“The quarter ends Friday.”— Plant Manager

Reason:

Allegedly because someone said "can't ChatGPT do this?". With a roadmap in the README, last touched 317 days ago.

Built by:

Olivier, an intern

Build time:

an afternoon, mostly

Built with:

a no-code builder on a personal account

Database:

a Postgres database called temp-2-2

Authentication:

the secret is in .env.example

Deployment:

behind a domain that still contains the word demo

Responsible:

Petra, who insists they are not the owner

Documentation:

a Miro board that takes 6 minutes to load

Security situation:

MFA exists for the admin account, which everybody shares

Future disaster:

It will become business critical in 13 months.

Age: 26 days · originally expected to last 7 days · 2 owners so far · last meaningful change 3 days ago · original builder left 56 days ago

Rated common mostly because: the builder has left, 1 departments depend on it, alive 4x longer than intended.
