Add value by doing nothing

A developer reflects on a personal web scraping application they built years ago that continues to serve users with minimal maintenance. The app runs on Quarkus with Jakarta EE in a serverless environment, costs only cents per month, and has required almost no backend changes despite years of use. The frontend was migrated from Vue to React, but the backend remains untouched. The key insight is that sometimes software delivers ongoing value simply by continuing to run, without constant intervention.
