Ah yes the yearly Mainframe thread on HN. Many years ago (10+) one of these threads convinced me that I should get into mainframe programming. But I couldn't figure out how to get in. The actual job postings all require 5+ years of experience with Mainframes and I'm starting from zero. And there aren't that many job postings, I'd say one mainframe job posting for every 1,000 or 10,000 web developer roles. So why bother?
