War Driven Development.
summary
A software engineer recounts rapid wartime projects: a five-person team builds a farmer-reporting web app in four days and it serves 2,500 farmers; a delivery portal for humanitarian imports reduces declaration time by 15× and registers about 3,000 cargos; a children’s art marketplace automates moderation and processes roughly 9,000 images with a simple ML pipeline. Tools used include serverless functions, Firebase/Netlify/DigitalOcean, Airtable and GitHub Actions; lessons emphasize speed, help-seeking, security and mandatory rest.
