It seems to me that programming evolves too quickly for this to be a significant occurrence. Granted my dad switched careers away from programming when I was 3, but his experience and mine are radically different. Though the first programming I ever did was on one of his old programmable HP calculators.
Which I think is because it's fairly new, only a generation or two, and a lot of the people who built the foundation is still around. I've been wondering what it's gonna be like in a few generations when everyone who built the stuff we use now are long gone. Maybe some projects will be inherited by family.
