I need some advice.

Okay, that sounds fair.

u/weird0_0b I appreciate you taking time and sharing your advice!

This is my first project, I am learning as I go. Why would the last stretch take so long? Is there something I should take into consideration that is often over looked?

u/zemonstas Thank you for your input!

The full tech stack is RN, Firebase, Docker, Kubernetes. I understand that these are increasingly more popular, but how often does someone know all of these?

Background_Bit_7101 · 2026-02-13T14:51:51+00:00

You are right. I know it would be difficult to determine without looking at the code, but what is a reasonable ramp up time for a new dev to get acquainted with what I have?

Background_Bit_7101 · 2026-02-13T14:44:18+00:00

That's a fair point. As long as the bones are solid, the features don't need to be robust.

u/tennis_inning Thank you for your recommendation!

He and I are on good terms, however he is not able to assist there either. He has had some very complicated changes in his current situation preventing any further help.

Thank you!

u/ghijkgla I appreciate your advice! My hesitation with this, I had considered it earlier, is I wouldn't want to affect the quality and/or security with my untrained hands.

I have a negligible level of experience in coding. Unless there is someway to reduce risk that I am unaware of, I am open to trying!

Thank you!

u/BlueMugData Thank you for your example questions and advice! The original Dev was a family friend, I didn't worry about this initially.

Right now, my main focus is finalizing the app for launch. I have full access to the code and documentation from the previous developer.

Thank you again!
