Elsethread I was reminded of one of my favorite collection of essays on software development. The last post in its collection is titled "Ozymandias" http://thecodelesscode.com/case/234

    I chanced upon an ancient cache of code: 
    a stack of printouts, tall as any man, 
    that in decaying boxes had been stowed. 
    Ten thousand crumbling pages long it ran. 
    Abandoned in the blackness to erode, 
    what steered a ship through blackness to the moon. 
    The language is unused in this late year. 
    The target hardware, likewise, lies in ruin. 
    Entombed within one lone procedure’s scope, 
    a line of code and then these words appear: 
    
    # TEMPORARY, I HOPE HOPE HOPE 
    
    The code beside persisting to the last—
    as permanent as aught upon this sphere—
    while overhead, a vacant moon flies past.
