What is this point of this quote? I downvoted this comment because it does not contribute to the discussion. A common tactic is to post a quote, wait for people to refute the most common/charitable interpretation of the quote's meaning in the context of discussion, then to reply with "that's not what I meant" and end it satisfied.
So tell us, what is the point of bringing up this quote?
- moxious 9y agoPoster isn't biting on this request. Somewhat ironically the quote is sourced from an article about a disfavored language arguing why cobol should be a disfavored language. Engineering is subject still to styles and fads, I guess the quote is just furthering that general mentality. COBOL isn't "cool" whatever that should mean.
