    Startups like this aren’t known for their robust infrastructure design.

    It’s most likely running on some weird unicorn setups no-one has bothered to document.

      Fear of embarrassing code is often a factor too. Amazing how coding standards instantly improve across the board the moment you realize people outside of dev might be scrutinizing what you’ve been shipping to customers.

        These guys are out of business anyway. They don’t have to care; they can just dump whatever they have somewhere and scuttle off into the night, never to be seen again, nothing more than an echoing “woop woop woop woop” fading off into the distance.

        They’ve been handed a rare and highly valuable treasure. They get all the good will from the community for doing the one thing that everyone always wants these companies to do but never happens, and this is now someone else’s problem.

        If you’re going to have a problem, someone else’s problem is the best kind to have.

            True programmers know that novice code is a rite of passage. Every programmer worth their salt looks at their own older code and cringes at it. Most people who do this for a living are more likely to give helpful pointers rather than tear you down, if anything.

            If someone is being a jerk to you about your code, stop listening to them immediately and walk away or block them.
