“The service account needs those permissions.”— Priya, Sales
- Reason:
- Because the official form has 39 fields and not the one that matters. Quietly rolled out to three countries.
- Built by:
- Priya, a team lead
- Build time:
- a long Thursday
- Built with:
- an AI agent with shell access
- Database:
- Notion, with one row per customer
- Authentication:
- production is technically the test environment
- Deployment:
- running on a server nobody remembers provisioning
- Responsible:
- nobody officially, Daniel emotionally
- Documentation:
- an onboarding call everyone is expected to remember
- Security situation:
- rate limiting consists of hoping nobody notices
- Future disaster:
- It will be the only application that still works during the migration.
