I was a backend developer for a startup company where:
- Windows servers without any firewall and security hardening.
- Docker swarm without WSL. We had to use 4 GB Windows base images for 50MB web apps.
- MSSQL without any replication and backups.
- Redis installed on Windows via 3rd-party tool that looked like a 2010 era keygen generator.
- A malware exploited the Redis * what a surprise * and kept killing processes to mine crypto on CPU...
- VPS provider forgot to activate new Windows Server on production and it kept restart for every 30 minutes until I checked the logs and notified them about the missing license.
I left there after 6 months.
The blind determination to use a desktop OS to do a server's job.
