Ah, interesting. I will admit I learned a great deal in the 2 years, though not all of that was the things you said. For me it was we had a lot of different codebases because each client had their own needs (beyond everyone who used our payroll system including printing checks, but that system rarely needed maintenance) so I had to learn to quickly read and understand a codebase to be able to make changes w/o spending days/weeks getting up to speed.
- azemetre 4y agoInteresting reading your comment as well! I honestly don't know what I would expect to learn just writing would I think would happen. :D Thinking about it more, I don't think I've met single person that ever touched a COBOL code base throughout my career (talking from ICs up to VPs here). It seems the "oldest" was always some early Java project from early 2000s.
