Sales built an NDA generator

“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.

Age: 31 days · originally expected to last 3 months · 1 owner so far · survived 1 reorganisation · last meaningful change 3 days ago · original builder left 33 days ago

Rated rare mostly because: 4 accidental connections, 110 users, nobody owns it.
