For sure, I imagine "software archaeology" will become a field of its own in the future. It reminds me of GitHub's Arctic Code Vault project, a snapshot of all public repositories as of 2020-02-02, meant to last for at least a thousand years. https://github.blog/2022-09-20-if-you-dont-make-it-beautiful-its-for-sure-doomed-putting-the-vault-in-githubs-arctic-code-vault/ https://github.blog/2022-09-20-if-you-dont-make-it-beautiful... I wonder what future humans will make of it, digging through such a massive amount of good, bad, and terrible code. Much of it probably won't run without serious effort.
