Field Service built a timesheet app because the other timesheet app sucks

“There's already a Confluence page.”— Sofia, Field Service

Reason:

Officially because someone called it "basically just CRUD". Built in one weekend and demonstrated immediately afterwards.

Built by:

Sofia, an intern

Build time:

a long Thursday

Built with:

Vue, for personal reasons

Database:

Firestore because the prototype needed to ship by Friday

Authentication:

the VPN password is the Wi-Fi password

Deployment:

running behind nginx config copied from Stack Overflow

Responsible:

an intern whose contract ended in March

Documentation:

a Confluence page marked "draft", last edited 317 days ago

Security situation:

a security review was scheduled for February and quietly cancelled

Future disaster:

It will hold the only copy of Headcount_final.csv.

Age: 104 days · originally expected to last 3 months · 2 owners so far · last meaningful change 104 days ago · original builder left 54 days ago

Rated mythic mostly because: 638 users, 100% chance of becoming business critical, the builder has left.
