True, it's still a LAMP stack, migrating it to new PHP and MySQL (now MariaDB) versions every now & then, fixing a bug here and there, adding LetsEncrypt, switching from CVS to Mercurial to Git, etc. The last big feature I added was math formulas (2 years ago or so).
This project really told me how important it is to leave comments for your future self - especially, if your future self hasn't touched some parts of the code for 15 years :o)
Anyway, I'm approaching 50 now, so I assume that Sensei's will be here for at least another 25 years.
- z0r 5y agoYou're the Sensei's guy? Thanks! I remember reading articles here when I was learning Go as a teenager 20 years ago.
- amiantos 5y agoDo you already have a plan in place for what should happen to it after those 25+ years (universe willing)? Anyone to inherit it?
- arnoxmp 5y agoMy experience is that it's very unlikely to find someone to carry such a site forward for decades -- everyone I met (except for 1 guy) loses interest after a few years. Don't know if archive.org would carry a read-only version forward.
- j4cob 5y agoWow, thank you for all of your work on Sensei's Library! It made a huge impression on me in ~2003, and has really helped me understand Go better and get stronger. I work on Let's Encrypt. I'm glad you find the service useful!
