Abstract
This chapter focuses on the development of technical approaches thatsupport projects that John Bradley worked on during his career, butit is worth reflecting on another important legacy before we start: thedevelopment of career paths for King’s Digital Lab (KDL) staff members,which are derived in large part from the work of previous generations ofexperts, like John, who helped define the career of Research SoftwareEngineer (RSE). As generational change occurs and in line with reorientations across the digital humanities community (see Boyles et al. 2018),it has become increasingly clear that the surest way to sustainability isto ensure continuity of technical expertise, domain knowledge and tacitunderstanding. In the final analysis, John’s enduring legacy, like those ofso many of his colleagues, will be human as much as technical.
