What about carrying on a legacy with maintaining a intergenerational codebases? Like from a family owned business, a FOSS project, or hobby video game? Something that span's across tech stacks, historic trends, and familial code authors, like the ship of Theseus crossed with Noah's Ark (built with the help of Noah's entire family over almost 100 years, as the theological mythology goes).
