If you could give 10 years of development time to up to 10 software projects, which would you choose? (programming.dev)

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?

10 years of development is insane, and I feel like some projects will be limited by the hardware and other software that isn't being updated. You'd have to spread out the 10 amongst projects that can help each other.

Would this also depend on who is currently working on it, or would the project also get a stable number of developers working full time?
