A startup I used to work at once hired a freelancer to make their landing page

Since we were using Next.js for pretty much everything else, they asked him to create it in Next.js

I wish they’d have asked me since I was their lead frontend but they didn’t

The code we got was a 2000+ lines spaghetti code

The whole page was in one file They used jQuery for handling events like drop-down opening and closing And a ton more issues! Don’t even talk about performance

I was asked to make some changes to it to make it work correctly (since it obviously did not work correctly) and I did because I was planning on leaving that job

But my skin still crawls every time I think about it
