Just imagine being a chef: nearly everything you make will be gone by tomorrow ;)

Yes, but chef can also invent some dish or recipe that will be used for ages.

Someone invented zeros and ones in data transmission and the end is not near....

Likewise, a programmer can invent an algorithm that outlives the original code.

I don’t think we’re unique in being in an industry where the things we create have a limited lifespan.

Agree, we are not :)
