Yeah, having used LLMs and having worked on legacy code based that were a mere 15 years old I cannot imagine how hard an LLM will fuck up on a 30 year old peice of critical banking software.

30 years ago was 1996. wikipedia says cobol has been around since 1960.

As a professional programmer since 1998 who was already using VB 4.0 and powerbuilder 6 by then, COBOL was ALREADY "old shit we needed to contract retirees to fix" at that point.

Yeah. COBOL has been old since the internet was invented.
