In this post Rob Pike discusses the 10 year challenge for software: Can you run programs you wrote 10 years ago?

This was a web browser I wrote 9 years ago (I showed it on HN earlier this year): https://asciinema.org/a/cJosP51z0oScKPLmVUhyNKUOj I'm glad it still works ish -

Fun memory: I remember asking Rob for help on this - first I asked him if there were any Doxygen like systems for Go, and he gave me a dirty look. Then he told me I need to understand how interfaces work. Those were the days where GTUG had tables for you to code on.
