> No code I wrote five years ago is in production today. Same. Sometimes the company disappears, sometimes they just stop maintaining your code after you leave, and it eventually dies. The only code of mine that has stuck around is the open source stuff. And even then... a large open source project I started 15 years ago was wildly successful, but after I left (with another maintainer in place) it languished, and one of these days I expect even its website and git repo will disappear. It's discouraging :-(
