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. 🤷
👃👈 ding ding ding!
Dev pushed drop and recreate the dB each time.
And there is no QA, don’t be silly.
That would be silly. Why pay for QA staff when we can spend customer good-will instead?
Edit: Sorry, I’ve worked with this kind of stupid so long, I can hear the logic in my bones. The only target that matters is this upcoming quarterly report. The quarterly report after that happens to future me, and he’s never done anything for me.
