"if you program and want any longevity to your work, make a game. all else recycles, but people rewrite architectures to keep games alive."

This is like saying zombies are alive...

No. Enterprise (and enterprisey) code is born dead. With huge amount of effort, it may be coerced into walking. It also eats brains.

2. unsupported

3. inflammatory

4. of no value to the conversation.

Would you care to support / substantiate that claim somehow?
