> The worst tech team you've ever seen and yet they are generating 20 million a year? I think you should give them the respect they deserve and understand the limitations they have been under.

If the right opportunity is there, you can make a lot of money on an awfully built product that barely keeps it together. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of risks involved with that and that things can’t go south in a hurry.

I’m obviously not familiar with this project, but it sounds like a lot of things many’d consider table stakes are missing, especially for such a large source of revenue. Perhaps I’m not imaginitive enough, but I can’t come up with any limitations they might’ve been under that would justify that. I think it’s fair to call that out, even if they happen to make money despite this.

There is definitely loads to fix and it does sound like the team was inexperienced but they were successful it seems.
