IIRC, 3 months to hack together a CRUD like app, another 3 to “ship” the “product”, and yes, quotes very much intended.

I did spend the next year or so adding features, bug fixes, etc. It was very much a case of learning on the job and I was quite fortunate to be in the position that I was. I think it was 2 or 3 years later I managed to land a dev role at Agoda (who had offices in Bangkok at the time)
