Artists including themselves in their art was also common during the renaissance. Da Vinci apparently included himself in his painting Adoration of the Magi (https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/adoration-of-the-mag..., see figure on the bottom right).

And Tintoretto is thought to be one of the bearers of the golden calf in a painting displayed in his parish church in Venice.

Which software will we still be using in 900 years?

I don't know, but it'll be running on a VM with the clock set back so it believes 2038 hasn't happened yet.

2038 is just 19 to 20 years away ( depending upon your IT and business activity cycles).

We’re close to 2038 than to 2000 ( Y2K ).

I only know that it will be written in COBOL. Wait, trike that. Not "will be written"; it's already written. it will only get maintained.

Yes, and it will mostly likely be handling debits and credits.
