I almost feel like upvoting it so that more HN readers can laugh at it... tbh from what little I know about IBM mainframes they're actually quite interesting, like some parallel universe where servers work a bit differently to the rest of the world. I wouldn't mind reading a more in-depth article on them.

z/OS and IBM's mainframes are fascinating, and great pieces of engineering. Probably the only thing I like about the company. But I guess that's how they were drawing people in, people like you and I hope for something interesting, and get some strange marketing fluff instead.
