We werre just at Battersea last month.
“been re-developed as retail space and commercial offices” is an understatment… it’s a very upscale upgrade of the place, a real surprise to my British wife who lived in London in late 1970s.

We then took a boat ride down the Thames to the Canary Wharf complex. The building lighting on South side of river made it seem more like Hong Kong or Tokyo.

Fond memories: when wiorking vacation jobs just up the street at US Bureau of Mines Pittsburgh Mining Research Center ~1967-69, I used to take decks of punch cards to run jobs on Pitt’s IBM 7090, also houses in the Cathedral.

Agreed, as in all domains.
Ex: it takes al ot of work to make operating systems robust, at which point nobody notice.
