Except COBOL has completely different number handling, so one-on-one migration will cause data corruptions.
Might not mean much on infrequently used systems with hundreds of interactions per year, but on fundamentals like SSNs, this will kill people.
Good programmers usually commit to ethics codes, cowboy AI "developers" usually don't.
I've recently started working in a company that uses old tech, and there is a minor interest from me to actually follow the COBOL onboarding. It seems like a pretty cool language construct to know, alongside my years of OOP experiences with stuff like C# and Java.
And there are still courses being offered, as it's far from eradicated (although everyone wants it gone).
So far I've always installed a filter (at work, school, and privately) that removes the "high priority" flag from any mail.

Eh, if you're careful and know what you're doing (e.g. Google stuff), it's effectively screws and copper. Nothing too special about it.
That's enshittification for ya.
Meanwhile, all "lifetime pass" holders are encouraging this, while they have no skin in the game.
I'm not sure if reddit devs are even aware of it
They likely are, but management is also likely rejecting any attempts to fix it.
They were far too springey to be made out of wood, which was what I initially thought.
