So I've been working on Micro (https://github.com/micro) for close to 10 years. It started as an idea in October 2014. It has been sponsored by a company, VC backed, run out of money, etc but the project lives on and continues to morph over time.

I'm curious to know what software projects you've worked on and how long for? How did it change over time? What caused it to thrive or die?
