What we maybe tend to forget is that we are writing for posterity, not just for the moment.

Ah hem, I think you should get over your ego. The way things change so fast, with new technology replacing old, most of the stuff written nowadays will be useless in a few years, replaced by Perl42 or whatever. If you can help someone with their current code problem, that is great, but don't be so starry eyed to think that any of us will be remembered 20 or 30 years from now. The only thing that is certain, is change itself.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
