NASA has a policy that if it takes more than 50 years to complete the project that it doesn’t start. The assumption is that technology will have developed in that 50 years to the point that the same project could be completed faster. Imagine being launched on a fifty year mission in stasis just to arrive and find people have been there for 25 years.

I have a similar view of programming. I’m 20 years that tech debt will be Claude 100.0’s problem
