I might have gotten myself in the situation that I have to update this Android app, whose development was outsourced (we're a .NET shop). I just peeked into the APK and realized it's written in js (Cordova).

How fucked am I?

@mansur85 I agree with this table. By, like....a lot.

And not because I hate JS (I actually enjoy it to be honest) but because apps built in anything other than the standard-default technologies tend to shit on themselves sooner rather than later.

Holy shit lol, Cordova? The company definitely got what it paid for here. Sorry you get stuck with this bag of shit, hope you can find another role if you want to

On a scale of 1 to 10? 50.

Turns out I don't have to update this, but I can actually rewrite it with complete freedom including tech stack, or rather develop a new app for Android and iOS that could do what the old one did, but really I can kinda do whatever I think is useful. Now I have to choose wisely a stack without too many footguns for a .NET developer...
