“We're too small to get hacked.”— Finance Business Partner

3 evenings

Built with:

Excel macros, exposed over HTTP

Database:

Git commits, technically append-only

Authentication:

the admin route is called /admin-new-final

Deployment:

running on a development server labelled DO NOT RESTART

Responsible:

nobody. It has no owner.

Documentation:

a Loom video nobody can find

Security situation:

the session never expires

Future disaster:

It will email customer data to a market you do not operate in.

Age: 15 days · originally expected to last 14 days · 2 owners so far · survived 1 reorganisation · last meaningful change 15 days ago · original builder left 42 days ago

Rated common mostly because: nobody owns it, 24% chance of becoming business critical, the builder has left.
