    It is always the worst code you wrote that survives. There’s a terrible university dorm management software I wrote eight years ago as a student. They still use it. The crazy complicated test framework wrappers for some hardware I wrote five years ago. They still use it. The godawful and crazy complicated communication protocol I whipped up four years ago, still used in medical equipment today.

      The crappy scripts that I wrote while teaching myself to code at an electrical engineering / architecture firm are used more often than the professional software I’ve built for FAANG and Fortune 500 companies since.
