People may not expect to deploy CODE from 2000 CE in 10000 CE
But hardware designs and long-term ideas from current era might survive maybe?
For example the space probes we send out over the next few millennia -- or any SETI schemes that involve instructions to an alien species about how to communicate back to us -- better be robust enough to handle the dates beyond 4 digit years.
And thinking on those time-scales might open up our minds to other aspects of design that might be otherwise overlooked.
