My wife was telling me at her work they're desperate for cobol programmers, as they're all retiring boomers leaving behind a giant code base. At my work, it's legacy fortran that's all over the place, but we're a much smaller company.
Can I take a a guess? If not, please ignore the next sentence.
Finance companies with a "database" is a gigantic flat file?
Lol yeah she's in insurance! I bet you could probably also infer from the fortran that I work for a science-y outfit.
