chore(): bad code

### General Feedback

- Good job on using the native `https` module for making the request. This is suitable for simple use cases without the need for additional dependencies.
- It is essential to handle sensitive information, such as API keys, more carefully to prevent them from being exposed in source code. I'll address this and other issues in specific comments below.

### Specific Code Review Comments

#### Hardcoded API Key
- It is not secure to hardcode API keys directly into the source code. This should be provided through environment variables or a secrets management system.

  ```js
  // Current
  'Authorization': 'Bearer your_api_key'

  // Suggested Improvement
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`

Error Handling

• Consider adding more robust error handling. Current implementation logs the error to the console but doesn't handle the error beyond logging.

  // Suggested Improvement
  req.on('error', (error) => {
    // Handle error accordingly, possibly with retry logic or error reporting.
  });

Content-Length Header

• The Content-Length header is automatically set by the https.request() method when writing data to the request object so you may not need to set it manually unless for a specific reason. If setting it manually, ensure that it matches the byte length and not just the string length, which can be different for multi-byte characters.

  // Current
  'Content-Length': data.length
  
  // Suggested Improvement
  // Omit this header unless there is a specific reason to include it as `req.write(data)` handles it.

Promisifying the Request

• Consider using or creating a promise-based version of the HTTP request to better fit with modern async handling patterns such as async/await.

  // Suggested Improvement
  const makeRequest = async (options, data) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      //...
      req.on('error', reject);
      req.end();
    });
  };

Response Handling

• Make sure to handle the full response data, as the data event could be called multiple times if the response is large. You might want to concatenate the data chunks until the 'end' event.

  // Suggested Improvement
  let responseData = '';
  res.on('data', (chunk) => {
    responseData += chunk;
  });
  res.on('end', () => {
    // Full response data available in `responseData`
  });

Miscellaneous

• Consider abstracting this request logic into a function or module for reusability and to improve readability.
• Provide additional context in the log messages, especially when logging status codes, to make it easier to understand the success or failure of the request during debugging.
• If this is a new addition to the codebase, remember to include adequate tests to cover the functionality of this request.

Given the information provided and without the complete context of the project and codebase, I would provisionally rate this pull request a 3 out of 10 based on the following factors:

• Code Quality: The provided bad-code.js exhibits basic functionality but lacks best practices regarding security, error handling, and code maintainability.
• Hardcoded Sensitive Data: The hardcoded API key is a significant security issue.
• Error Handling: Minimal error handling is present; it logs the error but doesn't adequately address possible failures.
• Lack of Async Patterns: The code does not make use of modern JavaScript async patterns, which would improve readability and error handling.
• Code Reusability: The functions are not abstracted or reusable, and the code is not modularized.
• Lack of Documentation and Context: There is a complete absence of comments, documentation, and insufficient context provided, both in the PR description and in the code itself.
• Security and Standards Compliance: The code does not follow best practices for handling sensitive information, nor does it adhere to standard HTTP practices (like content-length management).
• Testing: There is no indication that tests are written or updated to cover the new code. Testing is a crucial part of maintaining code quality.
• Commit Messages and PR Practices: The PR title and description are lacking, which does not follow best practices for team communication and codebase history.

Overall, the PR appears to be a rudimentary attempt that requires significant improvement in multiple areas to reach production readiness. It is advised that the junior engineer addresses the mentioned concerns and incorporates the suggested improvements before considering merging this pull request.
