I’ve been sitting on some code for about 15 years because it’s the key to disrupting a couple of entrenched players and would enable cloud vendors to offer the functionality “as a service”. No way I want Amazon/google/MS to run away with it.
Edit down voters might ask themselves what is much older than 15 years that some companies pay a lot of money for?
