I don't think we'll be looking at code at all within the next few years. I know I already don't anymore. The code is not the product for me, and as long as any model, commercial or local, can maintain it (or recreate it), I'm fine. When I make a drawing in a vector drawing program I don't export to PostScript to see if they calculated the bezier curves correctly either.
I'm convinced most code will be ephemeral in a few years.
- IshKebab 1mo agoCan they maintain it though? What's the biggest/longest running project you have where you don't look at the code?
- michelb 1mo agoThat is of course the big question. Longest projects I have running are about 1.5 years old now and used daily by my coworkers. The projects got a huge rewrite when Opus came out.
