Facility Services built an org chart nobody updates

“It's faster this way.”— IT Service Desk

Reason:

Mainly because the nightly job requires somebody to click "continue". Forked from a tutorial at 17:42 and never cleaned up.

Built by:

Ravi, a field technician

Build time:

3 evenings

Built with:

a no-code builder on a personal account

Database:

MongoDB where every document has a different schema

Authentication:

permissions are checked by asking "should this person be here?"

Deployment:

automatically restarted by a cron job because nobody fixed the memory leak

Responsible:

Ravi, who left 8 months ago

Documentation:

a Loom video nobody can find

Security situation:

the security review consisted of Elena saying "looks fine"

Future disaster:

It will be migrated into the official system in 2031.

Age: 181 days · originally expected to last 7 days · 2 owners so far · last meaningful change 181 days ago · original builder left 152 days ago

Rated rare mostly because: 496 users, alive 26x longer than intended, the builder has left.
