I have code in production that I wouldn't be happy to have to share. I have some that I'm a little proud of. But none of that matters compared to my feelings about whether it's useful and usable. I'm still working on making something I can be proud of in that way. A few weeks ago someone posted about what it's like to work on the Wolfram Alpha codebase, and described it as a pile of mud. I've read that parts of the Google search codebase could use some rewrites (and a long time ago someone converted it from Larry or Sergey's crappy java code to some nicer python). But noone but the people working on them see that, and while some folks who come and go might mutter under their breath as they sort through what some code might be doing, their opinions pale in comparison to that of the people using those systems every day.
