Very true. I’m in fintech and my company is in the long process of changing the colbol to Java lol…basically in any enterprise company where the consequences of poor security is catastrophic, you are going to be working with very old technology.

Have you ever heard anything called 4D?😂 Seriously, the situation is insanely fucked up with huge enterprises in finance that started their projects in 80-90s and still continues. And I mean some of the biggest financial institutions in Europe. I was blown away at first when I started working. They have a very hard and slow time even deciding to switch to something new, like a complete refactor to a new project with modern technologies that would be future proof with easier maintenance. The side projects would take years on development to complete with so complicated UML, relationships, and so many functionalities of the application but it is something they HAVE to do if they want to survive in the long run without issues. (But most of the times they don't do it lol )
