Take this as a lesson. If you've been a dev long enough, you've worked on a project knowing that how the project is being done isn't the best method with every intention of going back to make it better later, but not at the expense of getting the MVP up and running. You'll also have seen that never actually happening and all of those bad decisions from the beginning still living all the way to the bitter end.

I'm guessing not one person involved would have ever imagined their code being left on a machine just left out in the open exposed to the public completely abandoned by the company.

When a developer says “this is a temporary solution” they mean “this is a temporary solution forever”.
