> the code you write will eventually be rewritten or lapse out of use, or be replaced by something better. yep. try using the websites you've built as a resume even worse when all people look at is the UX and if you'r enot a UX person how to even show how goo dyour code is, how maintainable it is etc. I realised this to me detriment when my last employment came to a natural conclusion. I have no degree and suddenly no portfolio of active production code - all I had was one reference from a guy I built a website for which now doesn't look very good since the new guy butchered it. I invested in becoming a certified Autocad Operator instead and never looked back.
