I almost want to learn latin to read things like De Architectura in its original form. I’m super impressed by builders from antiquity. Wondering what can be learned from them. Maybe even in relation to software architecture:

Strength: code quality and robustness

Utility: does the code actually does something useful

Beauty: aesthetics and ux

People were thinking about these things for a long time before us, and the things they build still stand today and are beautiful. We’ve lost a lot of wisdom.
