You can choose up to 10 software projects.
Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

Can I give two projects 50 years each?

If one of those is Star Citizen, it may actually release in our lifetime

That would be very unpredictable but also fun

Or go with a self driving car project as that's consistently '10 years away'.

Then I'll go Google bard and chat gpt3. Having both of those being massively advanced could have some really interesting consequences.
