Boring tech is reliable tech.

  This is why mainframe will probably never die.

    Mainframes are actually the opposite of boring relative to a standard desktop. Boring jobs? Yes, but IBM have some extremely talented people working on them.

    Mainframes are only reliable because companies stopped making changes to them. It's just too hard to find experienced talent to add new features let along troubleshoot complex issues. I work for a large bank and one thing is for sure that everyone wants to move away from mainframes but it's just such a perilous journey.

  No it's not. Oracle, Windows, C etc are very much older, boring technologies. And more modern variants are far more reliable.
