30 years of coding, and the project I have the best memories of wasn't even a big deal from a technical perspective. Today, it would be generated by AI and forgotten. But in 2002, ordering pizza online was a new thing. Being able to click the ingredients you wanted, having the pizza on-screen change its appearance to show those ingredients, even splitting the pizza in half to show different toppings on each half? And works on all browsers? in 2002? That was new.
It was still just a 1-2 hour project as I recall, part of a larger project when we were re-doing the Dominos web site. And one of the other guys in the office helped me on it, so it was not even a solo effort.
But what made it cool was for a decade or so, I was able to tell people that if they had ever ordered pizza online, odds are they have seen and used my work.
