Work; positive 

Today I spent the whole day cleaning up technical debt.

Our main site no longer generates 300MB of text error logs daily, but instead closer to... 0.3KB, which is a lot of progress.

I feel really good about the work I got done today. ^^

Work; positive (Backstory) 

I inherited a codebase that was managed by a marketing department whomst'd only hire dev teams for one-off projects over ~6 years before I started working there.

The average downtime prior to my first day was 2 weeks a year. Today it's closer to 8 hours (and only 'cause our hosting provider sucks). I've been busy trying to meet deadlines while also rewriting massive amounts of the underpinnings of the site. ^^;

@mawr The best days BY FAR are the days where you have more functionality *and* less code at the end. :D
