Another example is people from EU making fun of US buildings. Lasting centuries may or may not be preferable. There are places where you want to cheaply rebuild from scratch. Your castle after tornado and flooding will be irreparably bad. Most castles suck badly by not taking advantage of new materials and I myself would not like to live in 100 yo building. Same for software, there are pieces that should be build to last but there are applications that should be replaceable in short time. As much as I am not fan of vibe coding I don’t believe all software should be built for decades to last.
