If it were 35 years ago, this was probably some logistics or finance systems? These were the first things adopting computers.
Nowadays I'd say it's 50/50 whether a new project there will last a while. More than half the work is pet projects that won't ever be used for real, if at all. While the other small half can live for many years. It's possible to get a pretty good idea of where it's heading from the start, with experience.

- tluyben2 6y agoFor me it was educational software for my first successful projects ; beginning on 8-bit micros but soon for MS-DOS, win3.1 and then win95 and onward. The 'business logic' code (written in Pascal by me) lived for decades inside the 40-something software packages being sold to most schools in my country.

These were the first things adopting computers Early adopters of computers were doing so in the '60s and '70s. By 1985 mainframes were widespread and PCs were becoming common.
