They shut down the project I was working for, Again!

Yes, I learned a lot
Yes, I felt important
Yes, it was something I am proud of

But damn...
For once, I want the things I do to see the light of day...

What was the project?

@iSwimInTheC Infrastructure as code (terraform and CFT) vulnerability scanner

Oof, I know what you mean. Once I had a project I worked 1.5 years on full-time. Biggest project I had ever made in terms of complexity too.

It was almost deployed (2-3 weeks away) and could almost prove it's worth. But then my manager got fired and a higher-up guy cancelled my project.

2 months later, I quit there

@Geoxion that's really sad.

Why was it shut down?

@hjk101 they bought a shelf product that does exactly that

@noyloy well if that can do the same and perhaps even better that makes sense. However normally you do the make it buy research/decision before you start building...

@hjk101 totally make sense
I guess that someone didn't do their homework properly..
Just sucks for me at the end
But I'll get over it

@noyloy sometimes these projects are not a complete waste of time. Your solution was probably highly tailored towards your company. This can expose some required configuration or extensions. Most systems allow for these customisations.
