yup, that's exactly why software is so valuable. write once, sell infinite.
the challenge with a lot of software businesses is that there's still a cost to sell the software. you need to own a channel to the customer (sales people, email distribution list, brand awareness, etc.). So while the software could be sold infinite times you still have to find/convince customers to buy it.
fortunately @k00b doesn't really have much cost of sales since we're just a community creating together so it can grow organically. So something he built 2 years ago can still run and continue to serve us indefinitely.

i think have read somewhere that the biggest advantage of tech companies is that all the software they write has basically 0 variable costs in the long run.
you can write code once (paying developers a fixed salary), and then "sell it" an infinite amount of times for free.
like SN: we're just writing code but the code that @k00b wrote 2 years ago is probably still running in here somewhere, doing its job forever or until it got replaced by something better.
