So here’s a fun one. A small company hired an “independent programmer” to build their ASP.NET application. Cheap. Fast. Sounded great.
Then he delivered something that technically ran — the way a car with three wheels technically rolls. Half the features were missing. The code was a choose-your-own-adventure novel with no comments. And then, like a magician who forgot to do the trick, he disappeared. No forwarding email. No documentation. Just a login screen and your dwindling hope.
Look, we get it. One guy working out of his apartment is cheaper than a real development firm — right up until he isn’t, because now you’re paying someone else to figure out what he was thinking, assuming he was thinking anything at all.
Keene Systems has been rescuing exactly this kind of mess since 1987. We’ve got 50+ senior developers, not one guy and a dream. If your developer vanished, retired, or simply stopped answering texts, we’ve seen it before and we know how to fix it — without the disappearing act.
