I hope he assembles his cabinet better than Ikea makes furniture.

To be fair, IKEA makes furniture of pretty good quality.
A friend of mine makes furniture for super yachts, the kind Arabian royalty has.
Even they get parts from IKEA, because it's just pretty good and you can't get that kind of quality cheaper anywhere.
He even bought it for his own home despite him being against it at first.
When shopping for furniture he gave it a chance and decided that the price of IKEA furniture gave you a better price/quality ratio than "good" furniture does.
Even from his suppliers he couldn't get wood cheaper to make it himself

'Wood' ?!

Well, it is wood.
Small flakes mixed with glue and subsequently pressed into a board.

Kind of like McDonald's all "Meat" burgers. some real meat mixed with filler agents (glue). pressed into patties to resemble meat burgers.
no thanks.

I know exactly nothing about wood.
My friend does and told me the wood he found at IKEA was good and cheap.
Not the chipboard stuff, mind you (although that was also cheaper than he could get)

To put some balance to that comment.
Ikea is experts at getting exactly the right quality for the intended purpose.
Buy a kitchen, and it will easily last you twenty years of daily use. (if assembled correctly)
Buy a bookshelf and fill it with (not to heavy) books and it will do the job of storing them just fine. But if you use said bookshelf for anything else, what so ever, if will quickly disintegrate.
The trick to be happy with your Ikea purchase is to never stray from the products intended purpose.
Also, the purpose of an Ikea couch is to be replaced every ten years or so.

Make that five, as I'm finding out with my current couch
To be fair, the price was less than a quarter of a couch that would last me twenty

Probably quite correct. I was giving the benefit of doubt.

The main problem here is that they probably won't last twenty years, as we're finding out with our "proper" couch. (That cost about four times as much)

I love IKEA stuff - it's just like grown-up Meccano!

You’re right. Massively successful companies always make crappy products that nobody ever wants to buy.
Just like Microsoft and MacDonalds!
Any other success you would like to argue with?? 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

we all know success does not always equate to a solid product line.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Back around 1975 ± 2 years one of the programmers at the newspaper where we worked wrote a simple program he named GAME1. He put the .SAV (like .exe or .com) file of it (TOPS 10 system) in the system area. When one of the people in the sports department ran it, it printed "Files Deleted" and listed all the files in the area with pauses to make it realistic. Typing control C which would normally cancel a running program caused it to print "I can't do that" and it continued listing files. It had also sent a message to the operator who had been made aware of the program, so when he called for help the operator told him he couldn't kill it. He said later he became physically ill since those files were stories that were supposed to be printed in the next edition. No files were actually deleted and the program exited once the several hundred files in that directory had been listed.

A small .NET Core API project...
30+ controllers, one for each table.
30+ services, one service per table.
30+ "repositories", one repository per table.
30+ files for constants, basically one constant string definition (ok, maybe 3 or 4) per static class.
30+ files for actual model entities. So why are you using Dapper instead of EF?
The "repositories" are basically passthroughs to the db context for CRUD operations, and because the project uses Dapper, somewhere in the code base is 30*4 SQL statements for each table's CRUD operations.
And given that the controllers, services, and "repositories" are manipulating tables, and it seems like they were hand coded rather than generated by a tool... 
And it seems so bassackwards to me. To me, controllers and services should be based on function, not table CRUD operations.
And while I haven't looked at the Angular  front-end, I suspect, from what I see of the back-end, that all the business rules are coded in the UI.
So, given that:
No integration testing to validate business logic.
It's actually quite clean, given it all follows a repeated coding style and practice. On the other hand, the lack of abstraction and the lack of any architecture other than the "controller-service" architecture baked into ASP.NET Core API just leaves me feeling sad and depressed.
And you do NOT want to know how much budget this project was given, that has been completely used up and the project is not anywhere near finished.  (We're talking just shy of six figures here.)
