The project was internal and I cannot show it publicly.  That doesn't make
it less valid an experience or less valuable as a point of perspective.
It's not like this sort of thing is a unique (or even especially rare)
occurrence when you're doing archaeology on legacy code. Avoid
repeating things that cause pain.

Have you?  From my perspective, you haven't shown much of anything because
we don't see your images.  Regardless, you cannot possibly expect everyone
to use your exact tooling just to browse project history?

Cheers,
