It's COBOL, but my first software development job. It's a good pay for a novice-dev in Sweden ($44k/yr and our currency has dropped by 1/3 compared to the USD). I like the language and environments, and it's fine th

Which means you don't have a good position when typing? I bought a 40% split keyboard and had my mouse inbetween the halves and it relieved my joint pains. Now, I work on old mainframes and need up to function key F24, but otherwise th

I don't really understand this. You are making claims about causes and effects without having (ever?) read about california fires and why they are started? Isn't that the bare minimum expected to even have an opinion, let alone en
