“Cold-blooded software” concisely expresses something I’ve thought about for years. Modern software based on HTML/CSS and frameworks works great so long as maintenance is ongoing. But for software I write for myself, I much prefer cold-blooded software. I want to write it today and have it still work in five years, even if I haven’t done any maintenance. Professionally I work in an area with similar needs. Gonna be adding this term to my vocabulary.
