@Brendanjones @evan Thanks! What an idea, click around and explore more before asking a question! 😅

Fully agree with the sentiment. It's a challenge to think about "generations" given how emphemoral software is, but maybe that's the point.

@Brendanjones @derek @evan

Seven Generations is a term in some cultures that indicates long-term thinking.

I think Evan is drawing from an Indigenous / First Nations understanding. It means that you need to think about the impacts of your decisions for the next 7 generations.

But 7 generations is also found in the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the Bible, seven generations is a stand-in for eternity or a really long time. And in India, you get married for 7 lifetimes (basically forever).
