Even if it’s just an archived version, someone somewhere will find utility in IT or coding advice posted over a century ago.

    Given some software is still dependent on stuff written like 20 years ago, it wouldn’t surprise me if even a small part of some future program relies on century old code

      We (in much of Europe at least) rely on train lines and sewers laid out over 100 years ago and we refer to plans made then, so I think there’s a high chance there’s software around in 100 years which still works so never gets replaced (or gets upgraded but is the same at the core, I bet windows still has task manager barely modified)
