The app I can't read

Every entry from one client app that agents built and I run without reading the code: what broke, why, and the fix.

A client’s customers sign in to this app to see their portfolios. Agents wrote the backend, the frontend, the database migrations, the nightly data job, the backups and the release checks. I wrote none of it and can read none of it.

This series is how that works anyway, one incident at a time.

  1. Entry 016
    The app I can't read

    A client app with a real database, real logins and real financial data, built and run by agents for someone who can't read a line of it.

  2. Entry 017
    One client could see all 59 portfolios

    A client account in a client's app saw every portfolio because the query trusted one stale flag, and no test had ever used a record that disagreed with itself.
