Field Service built an internal job board with two jobs

“The AI understands the code.”— Sarah, Field Service

Reason:

Officially because someone said "GDPR" and the meeting went quiet. Renamed twice to avoid attention.

Built by:

Sarah, an intern

Build time:

one weekend

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

Trello cards with JSON in the descriptions

Authentication:

production is technically the test environment

Deployment:

in a Docker container nobody can rebuild

Responsible:

an intern whose contract ended in November

Documentation:

a Loom video whose owner account has been deleted

Security situation:

production secrets are in a Jira ticket

Future disaster:

It will outlive the vendor that was supposed to replace it.

Age: 12 days · originally expected to last 2 months · 1 owner so far · last meaningful change 3 days ago · original builder left 45 days ago

Rated common mostly because: 3 departments depend on it, the builder has left, 13 users.
