      I might be in the minority, but I get more excited about the idea of maintaining/working on some creaky old legacy code base than I do about the idea of starting a new project from scratch.

          Is there a generator for these?

            Here's some more.

            Shared this with my team just recently. Guess there is a lot more of these brilliant edits.

        Yes, me too! But, only if I have the autonomy to improve things where I can. Otherwise, I just find it demotivating

        I enjoy this too, but it’s kind of rough when you’ve inverted control, teased apart unnecessary coupling, updated dependencies and backed everything with unit and other tests, but then your colleagues are too scared to code review it.

        I find that working on production code with well defined use cases and requirements to be the most satisfying, and working on new proof of concept / demos / marketing tools to be the least satisfying.

        So on balance, more of the legacy projects I’ve worked on have fit those criteria than the new builds, but the couple of new builds that had well defined use cases, and no legacy code to deal with were the absolute best.

      also, your own code after you’ve spent time away from it.

        That is the strangest thing, going back into a program and thinking “what the hell was that guy thinking?” and then realizing it was me.
