The entire billing system at my first job was written as a console exe by a (brilliant) guy in during one-day session, working almost completely from live debugging breakpoints (against the production database). The result was less than beautiful, but there were rarely any problems with it. Needless to say anytime a billing inquiry came up it was his problem (which he was okay with since he owned the place).
- contingencies 9y agoHaha, literally writing a multicurrency accounting system from scratch at the moment. Same deal: my company, my rules. Trying to be a bit forward-looking though[0], and already tonnes of features you can't buy. Live third party market platform scraping, machine translation, github integration, beginnings of live mainland Chinese bank API integration, etc. [0] https://github.com/globalcitizen/ifex-protocol/ https://github.com/globalcitizen/ifex-protocol/
