Built Video Hub App that almost 5,000 people have purchased. I was a math teacher, became a web dev 6 years ago, built this 5 years ago. Most proceeds go to charity. Very minor by comparison to others, but I'm just starting out ;) https://videohubapp.com/ && https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App What I did that is most impactful is that I've been giving at least 10% of my income to cost-effective charities for ov…
At work: the CDN for Megaupload. I was also the guy who had to shut it down when the FBI seized it. Personal non-code project: The first adult LEGO fan conference in 2000. While I got out of that business years ago it has been replicated by dozens of other annual cons around the world. Back then the LEGO group didn't really understand and was very weary of adult fans. Now there's a whole reality tv show about them wi…

> I want to find a good non-profit to take this over to keep it ad and javascript free forever. Maybe worth reaching out to Mozilla. That's the only actual non-profit I can think of who I think would have both the ability and the incentive to keep it online.
Ability? 5M/day for "what's my ip" is not much, and I'd wager most of us on this site would be able to keep it up and alive just fine. As for incentive... in addition to the Mozilla Foundation, orgs like Calyx, NLNet, Quad9 come to mind.

Also, I have a project in production at work where a device needs to grab its public IP address. My code has a list of sites that provide that info and I have ip4.me as a fallback in that list, so thank you for building it!

Honestly, I have built nothing impactful in an 30+ year career. It's mostly been working on my own or other people's ideas that didn't pan out or that I got disillusioned with, or building internal systems that a few dozen people use. I'd estimate that the vast majority of the code I've written is not running anywhere at all today.
About 8 years ago I built (as tech lead) a very simple commenting system that is seen by about a million people a day with several thousand DAUs.
I also made a triple-A cricket video game that was huge in India (batsman and umpire AI, some physics).
Made (as enterprise architect) a mobile banking app for a bank with several million customers.
A pipeline approval tool (internal at Amazon) that counts metrics. I was a fairly fresh college-hire SDE1 at Amazon. And I was annoyed, because I'm lazy. Every time I was oncall, I had to manage the deployment pipeline for my teams software- the UI for the tool used by Pickers inside Amazon Warehouses. On Monday, deploy the latest changes to the China stack (small). On Tuesday, check if anything bad happened, and the…
Thank you for creating it!
