Georg Tuparev stops by to chat about software that outlives its plans: projects scoped for a few months that are still in development 20 years later. We get into running a small team of physicists and astronomers, why WebObjects and EOF are still in production, where AI helps and where it falls short, server-side Swift with SwiftNIO, and storing exabytes of telescope data from observatories no cable can keep up with."/> Georg Tuparev stops by to chat about software that outlives its plans: projects scoped for a few months that are still in development 20 years later.
