I don't post about work much here, but I spent 5+ years working on Vox Media's CMS Chorus. Straight up built my career by growing, refactoring and hacking on it.
Two things I learned:
- All code dies. Some sooner than later.
- The most rewarding work is anything that reduces pain points for coworkers and customers.
Sad to see Chorus is shutting down. A lot of great engineers and writers worked on and in it, and I'm thinking about them today

@mgpreppy fortunately my memory is very bad so I often don’t recognize the bad code is mine until I git blame 
@clifff the worst! I’ve been there.
@clifff I hope the best of the ideas make their way into core WP or plugins, so they can benefit the widest possible audience.
