   @clacke No worries! In any case your point that they're cool and interesting things stands, and the analogy with software systems is thought-provoking

     TIL a "palimpsest" is an old manuscript that has evolved over time, as people have scratched things out or added new things.

     EDIT: no, see correction: digipres.club/@petrichor/11290…
