Arguably, that's for the best. If somebody with domain knowledge knows enough to make a basic form that's needed with HTML and Javascript (ignoring keeping the Javascript part), it makes it very easy for the devs to take that, run with it, and turn it into an actual product.
Ok, opposite take.
Somebody with business knowledge with just enough ~~technical~~ Excel knowledge to cobble together a 5000 lines monstrosity of unreadable, unmaintainable python+pandas workbook that needs 2 painful hours of single-threaded processing time each run, with zero understanding of general development best practices, technical or organizational constraints, who asks us tu put their shitstain straight in production today because our fucking moron of a manager told them so.
Said shitstain could have been replaced by a 2h workshop and a couple of sql queries.
Said shitstain crashed almost daily in production. The running costs alone would have been offset in a month by a 1 week refacto.
Fuck this place. I'm glad I left before becoming insane.
That right there is the problem. It's one thing to take a shitty piece of work from a non dev and use that to get an understanding of what the product should do, and it's another thing to just copy/paste it into prod.
