Tell me you had no business being invested in without telling me.

I’m going to be harsh here but I honestly have no clue how else to respond. You wrote your backend in Node/Typescript and then decided to change it to Python. What in the world would make that a good idea? No seriously, there is absolutely nothing sane about that decision. In top of that, you used ChatGPT to do the conversion for some of your DB models, was that just for speed or because you didn’t know what you were doing (new language/framework?).

Also, you say you had credits to burn (god this industry is so messed up sometimes) so why rewrite? Clearly not for cost/performance and Node to Python seems like a very lateral move all things considered.

I’m completely flabbergasted as to why you would rewrite your backend like this.
