It seems like a silly metric. Almost all code gets abandoned, and at an alarming rate. Unless you happened to build a popular database or an operating system component, it’s likely that your code is gone in 10 years. And if not, your code is likely the future bane of some developer who despises maintaining it since it is such a bear to update to their unforeseeable requirements.
