You are wearing designer clothes! Just by a designer from 1873 [1]. The equivalent programmer would be John von Neumann, maybe.

Exactly my point. the Comment I responded to was "No one wants old designers they want the Hot New young designers"

The "old" brands you are wearing are all the result of stalwart designers from the past.
