Dog Shelter Team built an org chart nobody updates

“It's only metadata.”— Miriam, Dog Shelter Team

Reason:

Mainly because the CEO tested it on an iPad. With a settings page that does nothing.

Built by:

Miriam, a warehouse supervisor

Build time:

an afternoon, mostly

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

a column called misc

Authentication:

the secret is in Git history, so deleting it felt pointless

Deployment:

deployed every time Ravi remembers

Responsible:

Lukas, until somebody notices

Documentation:

an email chain containing the phrase "see below" 11 times

Security situation:

the admin URL contains the word secret

Future disaster:

It will get an SLA before it gets a test suite.
