> No matter the quality of your code, if the product or service is not a good market fit. It will be retired. No one will stumble upon it or pick it up after it's gone. This applies to artistic endevours like books and paintings as well (especially those two, since markets for them are very oversaturated). Your technique might be masterful, but if your art doesn't align with current trends (along with a number of other factors), it'll drown in the endless barrage of other art, and nobody will stumble upon it or pick it up, even if it's still available.
