There's no churn, it's great. And there's plenty to learn once you get in, depending on where you go. COBOL requires knowing a good bit about the business itself, so it's hard to get bored with it. At least, I haven&#x27

Yes, this exactly. Whenever I tell people I'm a mainframe developer, they always ask how they can learn COBOL. Oh, that's the easy part. The environment is very different and takes a while to get used to, but it's where COBOL

I'm also a young developer that works with COBOL, but I work in the insurance sector. The environment you describe is also how it's like here. And I've never worked with such nice and intelligent people! One thing I really lo

Nobody expects you to know everything when you're starting out, even if you have that fancy degree that you spent years on. That degree just shows them you have the aptitude to learn how their business works and they're willing to

Haha, same. I may get to do some Java, but there's no telling.

I actually liked the way the story was told and the errors didn't bother me. I was able to get a sense of how excited you are about your new career! :)

I guess it depends on your animal's feeding habits. My dogs don't overeat, so we just leave the food out and refill it when needed. Dry food, that is. For wet food, they'd just about fight over it.

Okay, wow, that's a huge hole in their system. Is there any indication that Nintendo is aware of this and is trying to patch it? Or has it been patched already?

Just finished reading most of "Busted!" Wow, this website's gold. I love to read this kind of stuff. Do you have any favorites you'd mind sharing?

I've dealt with bullies in this way too. It does depend on the bully, as well if the victim is capable of completely ignoring someone like that. As a child, I wouldn't have been able to show no emotion on my face and ignore someon

In every instance that I was bullied and the bully stopped messing with me, it was because I stood up for myself, either by telling the kid off or slapping/punching the kid in front of all their friends and embarrassing them. Anecdotal

Yep. I'm working as a COBOL developer now and the language itself is fairly simple to read and write. The hard part is learning the systems in place and how everything talks to each other, since the systems have been in place since bef

I would think it'd mostly be a PR nightmare and they wouldn't be liable financially for any damages since the device has been recalled. Headlines like "Samsung device causes airplane to go up in flames" would really take

I actually carry a big purse when I go to the movies to keep everyone's snacks and drinks from the dollar store down the street, just for this reason. If the movie theater's snacks/drinks were reasonably priced, I would consi

I went the community-college-then-university route as well. I got enough credits to get an associate's degree before transferring and was able to put that on my resume, which I feel got me some attention when I was applying for part-ti

by kayla210 10y ago
The fact that credits weren't transferable always seemed so shady to me. That just made it seemed that whatever credits you did earn weren't legitimate or worth anything if they couldn't be equated to credits at another colle

I really feel for all the students who are so close to graduating and not knowing if they'll have anything to show for it.. And their credits will most likely not transfer to another school because of the different accreditations.

I agree. It seems like everything on the news is blown out of proportion and beaten to death in an attempt to fill the day with "interesting" stuff. No, this is just making people scared to go outside and actually enjoy life. I&#x

I also think interest has died down because users in suburban/rural areas (like myself) are getting tired of not having any Pokestops to refill on Pokeballs within walking distance. It was fun and interesting driving to the city/p

Maybe you should look for someone to proofread the website, especially the front page. Too many typos and grammatical errors will drive users away.

That's true. I believe I make enough to manage a decent-to-nice apartment on my own, so I won't have to have a roommate to make rent. Right now, I'm just saving up and paying off student loans and my credit card and casually

I'm currently dealing with if I want to rent out an apartment by myself or if I want to find a roommate/friend to share it with. On one hand, YAY NO PEOPLE AND FULL CONTROL OF THE PLACE; on the other hand, I don't want to get

My main peeve is them removing the My Herd feature, which allowed you to set a city/campus as your "home" Herd. You were able to interact with your Herd even when you weren't in the immediate area. I still had mine set f

That's the same view members of my family have. Yet some of them are on food stamps and mad that they can't get Medicaid. Well, duh, when you support the very politicians that are fighting against YOUR ability to get food and heal

Really nice! This is a lot more convenient than opening a Print dialog and choosing to save as PDF, which doesn't always work like you want it to. I haven't used ePub format yet, but it seems to be a format gaining traction in the

Very interesting! This is also my first time hearing of GitBook. Thank you for the link!

I went and looked back at the Hacking bundle and there's some books that overlap into this one, such as the command line and some of the Python books.

I actually enjoy articles that allow comments, because I like to read what people have to say about it before I actually read it. I don't really know why, maybe to gauge whether or not I want to get more information about the topic tha
