Anybody worrying that programmers loose jobs stop worrying.
All the automation in the world does not replace the need for people to debug problems.
Even more interestingly, the more something is automated the more time is spent on solving the issues when they happen. Finding a simple mistake in a very complex automation can be a challenging project.
But... if you have been programming Cobol your entire life you might want to start learning some newer technology.

- bryanrasmussen 4y agoYou think the programming AIs are going to be trained on Cobol?
- agentwiggles 4y agoI mean, I have no ability to check it for correctness, but ChatGPT is certainly capable of writing Cobol. Just asked it for an implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm and it looks reasonable enough to me. Why _wouldn't_ the programming AIs be trained on Cobol?
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoOk, I would think you probably would not want to devote a lot of resources to training for Cobol given the smaller niche it represents which I figured would make it less useful.
