My last COBOL work was in a bank that replaced COBOL with Java and minicomputers with the indies servers in a misguided effort to modernize. Before that we had five mainframe programmers, after Java we had a dozen more and no one was really sure how many layers that Java onion had. People kept piling abstractions on it in another misguided effort to make it simple.
I worked with COBOL for a good part of a decade. It’s a joy to see structured and well-commented code from pros, the consistency is such that there’s a point after a few months when you “get it”, and the code base becomes like putty in your hands.
Never have felt that way with modern platforms, with the exception of maybe Python. Old-school structured programming can be beautiful, and the tooling is super straightforward. Development these days has taken a turn for the worse in terms of sheer complexity for even simple tasks.
TL;DR: If if pays well in your market, don’t be afraid of COBOL if you’re a capable software developer. You will get it faster than you think.
Woah, who said I’m fine with that? I’m Mexican and very much resent the idiocy of Trump, but our president is also an idiot who “threatens” to do something, but I can assure you she will not actually do anything.
IMO she’s posturing to her base, but she says she might go against Google because she doesn’t dare to go against Trump, and she needs to look like she’s doing something.
Meanwhile, we have very urgent problems in Mexico like rampant crime, medicine scarcity, corruption, etc. that she doesn’t even mention in her daily morning speeches.
Why do we need to convince them in the first place? I see them as the equivalent of internet trolls, they know they’re wrong and half the fun is moving the goalposts.
A billionaire would need to give a coin every second of his life for millions of years to deplete their fortune. The rich man of the story wasn’t rich enough, or was giving much more than a coin.
If we’re going to play that demagogic game, why not make “United States of America” be shown as “United States of North America” to reclaim the continent name back? Companies will comply if it’s an official request.
