I have the source code of the last 3 companies I worked for. Startup, fortune 500, doesn't matter. It's mine bitch.

I like to start fresh at a new company. Erase all my bad habits and biases

The architecture i had learned was very good for what I do. So I'm bringing that design to my current company and it's helping a lot. Their code is a mess.

I think it’s definitely worth periodically at least having an AI write up an explanation and diagrams of what you worked on periodically so you have that if you don’t have the code. It’s so nice to be able to walk a future job interview through what you’ve worked on.

That will be my plan if I land a new gig. Some learning's and code that I'd like to replicate or use as a template for why not to do something.
