I’m finishing up some hardening features and some additionally functionality right now. It’s “maintainable” par se, but I will be going through it and cleaning it up a lot. It’s a Django application. It likes to write out large single files. Already went through to break things up into similar views and functionality.

And as for security., were they even caring about it? Were they asking good questions? Reading about things? Learning ways to secure things?

If someone blindly follows what it gives you, something interesting will happen at some point. Use it as an enhancer.
