I thought you were @Root

@kiki Honestly not too far off from places I’ve worked.

@Demolishun here's more:
- ask me to hardcode api keys
- hire an external pentester who instead of testing the actual app tries to pentest aws itself (runs tls scan on aws lambda????)
- be passive-aggressive when i mention vacation because you can't fathom the idea of labor laws
- bully me into a build even though i told you it's not ready 10 times already
the only saving grace is that our release names are based on pink floyd song which makes me very happy

@rudinskiz just the bigotry would be enough for a lawsuit, you're a very patient person
hope this isnt a repeat. have a great weekend guys!!!!!
Reality
how to be a shitty client:
- have a legacy database where column names are misspelled and everything is nullable
- hire external help which instead of helping break the ui (bonus points for breaking the api too)
- demand a very much custom auth logic but decide to use aws cognito for shits and giggles
- demand 1hr daily meetings
- demand biometric auth with 0 knowledge of how biometric auth works (the previous devs just had a face id prompt which does nothing and retrieved email and password saved on the device???)
- message me at 2am because you don't understand how timezones work + demand a build while you're at it
- call me a "heretical pagan" because i took a day off on a holiday you don't celebrate (???)
i could go on but i think this is enough
