Chris Coyier: The Long Game of Maintaining CodePen | Maintainable Software Podcast

In this episode, Robby Russell talks with Chris Coyier, co-founder of CodePen, about the long game of maintaining software. Chris shares how CodePen has evolved over time, the trade-offs involved in migrating parts of the platform from Rails to Go, and the challenges of balancing maintenance work with the desire to build what's next. They also explore the human side of maintainability, the role of technical debt in shaping priorities, and why small teams often have to make very intentional decisions about where to invest their limited time and attention.
