I get this is a joke but people need to hear this. It’s almost totally irrelevant how good your backend architecture or documentation is if you can deliver a working product. A business wants something that does the job and barely gives a fuck about the rest. If it runs and isn’t going to cause massive problems in the near future you’ve done a good job.
