article - Writing Software to Last 50 Years

[Nitin Bhide]

When something is old, when it stands the test of time, it's a testament to the care and love and thought a craftsman put into it. It's a legacy, like a tree you plant for your kids. It's progress too! It feels us feel proud to be human, more than just apes constantly reinventing the wheel. Like maybe if we can stack one stone on another without the pile falling over, we could go places. I think those are all good reasons to get out of bed in the morning.

So now that I've explained why I'm so invested in makings things that last, how exactly do we make tech that ages well?

Something every developer should read. Especially the criteria of "gets better with changing requirements"
