CEO's Daughter built an app only Kevin knows exists

“It's technically not production.”— Olivier, CEO's Daughter

Reason:

Honestly? Because the last 10% is authentication, billing and everything else. With a settings page that does nothing.

Built by:

Olivier, a warehouse supervisor

Build time:

a long Thursday

Built with:

Svelte, which nobody else here writes

Database:

an Access database called Headcount_new2_backup.xlsx with 16 linked tables

Authentication:

the password policy requires one uppercase letter and optimism

Deployment:

running on a server last patched 623 days ago

Responsible:

Tobias, who thought somebody else owned it

Documentation:

a Notion page with one sentence and 15 empty headings

Security situation:

security is handled by the fact nobody knows it exists

Future disaster:

It will be the only application that still works during the migration.

Age: 79 days · originally expected to last 2 months · 2 owners so far · survived 1 reorganisation · last meaningful change 3 days ago · original builder left 34 days ago

Rated common mostly because: 6 departments depend on it, 2 accidental connections, the builder has left.
