I was revisiting a codebase I hadn't seen in 6 years and I gasped aloud at how pretty it was. I thought at the time: "Why don't I write beautiful code like this anymore?" and I think I have an answer (for my case). I excel at visiting these 10 year old plus hulks and doing a refactoring of the shortcuts and the bad solutions. Problem is that this rarely surfaces in my own current work which is more greenfields than I am comfortable with.

I'd love for some more contract work in this vein but I am unsure how to find it.
