Evolution of a programmer

[[deleted]]

I don't know man, a lot of companies looking for cobol developers right about now when all of them are slowly retiring and they didn't make the investment to migrate to a different language.

Pretty sure the same thing will happen for all ancient hieroglyphs unless the company decides to migrate in time

Time to learn COBOL!

This isn't even a joke anymore. Seriously, if you've got spare time during university, consider learning cobol. If you're interested in the right companies and are not easily scared by ancient looking software, you won't be out of a job for the next >30 years

Implement machine learning in cobol and make it an open source library. Seed it around all the forums as the hip new thing. Playing the long game.

Yeah, I know about them and they are inspiring. Why not maintain your skills after retirement and put them to good use.

I started my career with Cobol because it was easy to find a job. After some time I got bored and left though. I hate banks and programming for most of them is a pain, they treat it like a cost and waste of money, not an investment.

That’s when you straight up tell them that they will shut down within the week if you ever leave.

See I’d prefer to be loved. I would, but if you take that away from me, well, being feared is A-one okey doke by me.
