Edit: so im done with my preliminary research into this codebase.

Our corporate SSO provider is changing, so I’ve been updating our tools to take advantage of the new badges. I found this in a web application that I started on today. The original developer is long gone, and according to our PaaS, this app has been running for just under 3 years without an update.

There is no CI/CD, blue-green deployment, or back ups. The database is an H2 db with ddl-auto set to create-drop on startup, meaning that this database will delete itself if the app is restaged but thanks to this guys code, it won’t populate itself. 🤷

        At one of the businesses I worked at, the backup was very slow, and at some point the daily backup started taking more than 24 hours. You can probably guess what happened after that.

      According to the documentation for the app, they got it classified as a shop aid tool, thereby circumventing production requirements.

      The whole app is written like some college kids hello world mvc app

        This hits way too close to home.

          This job pays sooo well though, so I just do what I can and try to speak up when appropriate. They never take my advice, but I have a long list of cya emails for when it all goes tits up 🤙
