     @thomasfuchs @pdjstone as someone who started web development professionally before the first great dot com purge, I find it reassuring that not all code is ephemeral.

     @masukomi @thomasfuchs @pdjstone I think the current Mac OS X kernel ‘Darwin’ was derived from bad.

     @thomasfuchs @tonybyrne @pdjstone I always just assumed that none of the os 9 stuff carried on after they switched to the stuff from next. I assume there's some similar functionality that carried forward but i figured they just rewrote from scratch. Was there much that could actually be ported?

     (i can't remember anything about that)

     And then on the Firefox side:

     > The Mozilla project was created in 1998 with the release of the Netscape browser suite source code.

     > After several years of development, Mozilla 1.0, the first major version, was released in 2002.

     > Not many people noticed at the time, but the first version of Phoenix (later renamed to Firefox) was also released by Mozilla community members that year

     > Firefox 1.0 was released in 2004
