You know how folks inherit tools, workshops, or auto projects from parents and family? Stuff like wood working equipment, sewing machines, or whatever tools of the trade. It's got me wondering, what's it like for children that inherit their parents' codebase, computers, keyboards. Surely with the growth of the tech sector and job market, compared to half a century prior, this could be a growing re-occurrence.

E.g. like the entire premise of this YouTube channel titled "Inheritance Machining": https://youtu.be/hearLttbrLo

For example, my grandfather worked for IBM, and my family recalls growing up surrounded by punch cards around the house. Of course that form of programming only lasted so long, so the next generation was unlikely to reuse the same tools of the trade, but as tech stacks have matured and interfaces standardized, what are the chances are that folk's children will use the same Linux kernel modules, custom mechanical keyboards or desktop chassis that their parents used today?

oh this brings me back to when i used to work in banking, i got the privilege to do maintenance on a "simple" piece that was kind of a cornerstone for one of the nightly tasks, it was created about 5 years before I was born
