Procurement built a performance review form

“The API isn't documented.”— Managing Director

Reason:

Honestly? Because Leads_old.csv is stored on Chen's desktop. Built during an offsite instead of the thing they were asked to build.

Built by:

Tobias, a team lead

Build time:

an afternoon, mostly

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

one table called data

Authentication:

the reset password button emails the old password back

Deployment:

behind a CDN for an app only used inside one building

Responsible:

Tobias, who left 3 months ago

Documentation:

a PowerPoint with 35 slides

Security situation:

the JWT secret is "changeme"

Future disaster:

It will discover its own timezone policy in production.

Age: 3.0 years · originally expected to last 4 weeks · 5 owners so far · survived 3 reorganisations · last meaningful change 823 days ago · original builder left 329 days ago

Rated common mostly because: alive 37x longer than intended, the builder has left, 1 users.
