Could you elaborate a bit on why you consider it the best project you worked on? Maybe it was interesting independently of how it was architected etc.

- lmm 12y agoI think this kind of pattern was a big part of why I enjoyed it. Because it was an 8-year-old, 500-kloc codebase, everyone knew you couldn't change it instantly; you could see an archaeological history in the layering, and understood that in all probability the style that was great today would become the bad old code in three or four years' time. But the result was that it was a living system, we knew we were working on it because it made us money, and every day we were making the code a little bit better (even though that's a never-ending process), which was hugely satisfying.
