- 0x0 11y agoVery odd. It's like somebody's been hiding in a cave since 1995 and just discovered python, object-oriented programming and HTTP.
- pjc50 11y agoHe's previously been writing RPG for the AS/400. That's pretty much exactly like living in a cave since 1975.
- akhilcacharya 11y agoPeople write for the AS/400 in 2015? What?
- pjc50 11y agoYes. Check your local job listings. Why? Never underestimate the inertia of a working legacy system.
- jhallenworld 11y agoI did just that, check it out: "Position is in a well-lighted office environment" http://jobview.local-jobs.monster.com/Programmer-Analyst-Job-Andover-MA-US-153495020.aspx?ch=NEWSBOSWO&jobPosition=1 http://jobview.local-jobs.monster.com/Programmer-Analyst-Job... Zwicker & Associates - a debt. collection agency.

- cafard 11y agoThe other weekend, I grabbed a bit of the Washington Post classifieds to set a paint can on. The first or second ad that I spotted specified JCL, COBOL, and CICS.

- rbanffy 11y ago> It's as if somebody was writing about python circa 1997. Sorry about the lack of warning. I found the perspective really interesting as it's pretty much the impressions of a traveler that came from distant exotic lands about a tool I use daily.
- randlet 11y agoI was coming to comment the exact same thing. I actually stopped reading halfway through the article to check the published date because I thought it must be at least 10-15 years old!
