Have you ever wondered why some technologies are still with us and some have disappeared? Here is the Lindy effect to explain it. This effect tells me developers will still use C# and SQL when I retire. It is a concept in technology and innovation that suggests that the future life expectancy of a non-perishable item is proportional to its current age. In other words, the longer an item has been in use, the longer it is likely to continue to be used.
The concept was named after Lindy's Deli in New York City, where Nassim Nicholas Taleb popularized it in his book "The Black Swan." According to Taleb, the Lindy effect applies to many things, including technologies, ideas, and cultures, and evaluates their potential longevity.
