When I was young I spent a year framing houses. I reflect a lot on how much longer those have lasted then so much of what I built software wise along the way.

Very true, I'd expect a house to outlast almost all of our software. There's really not much permanence in this industry.

I've built IKEA bookcases that have outlasted most of the stuff I have written.
