Multigenerational Tech Debt

The true family business - legacy COBOL code! Someone's friend just inherited a codebase last touched by mom in the 90s, while the reply cleverly points out this isn't the kind of inheritance pattern they teach in CS class.

If your resume says "COBOL" in 2023, banks are already throwing money at you while sobbing uncontrollably.
