Just started my new job at a start up as the sole developer, after spending a year after graduating struggling to find a job. I was informed beforehand from my boss that they were having struggles with a consulting company, but I had no idea how bad it was going to be.
The project was suppose to be a high fidelity, scalable webapp capable of handling orders and transactions, but for some reason they to decided to do the a frontend and backend in (vue/express)node.js, with mongo.
First two days were pretty cruisy, twiddling my thumbs waiting for them to send a link to their git repo. but instead of sending a link, they dumped the whole code base in a google doc and called it a day. okay? no problem I’ll just set up the git and ci/cd pipelines myself.
I couldnt even get the project running locally. the mongo database was a frankenstien patchwork made from the flesh on unborn featuses. and the backend structure?
each controller file was 1000+ lines long while the models are under 50. the ports and salt wasnt even put into the .env file, and they didnt even bother writing a read.me or any documentation to follow.
Boss wasnts to onboard clients, and already has some local big names interested, but im scared to tell her it would be easier to start from scratch.
