The Last COBOL Developer Pic X(30)

Somewhere in Nebraska, a lone COBOL developer is literally holding up the digital world like Atlas himself. While tech bros brag about their microservices architecture, this unsung hero is silently preventing the financial apocalypse with code older than most developers' parents. Banks don't send thank you cards for averting economic collapse every Tuesday at 2 AM when the batch job mysteriously fails. The real infrastructure isn't in the cloud—it's in Nebraska, running on a language that uses "PIC X(30)" to define a string because it was cool in 1959.

The Impossible Job Requirements Paradox

Every dev job listing in existence: "Entry-level position. Requirements: Must have been coding since the womb." The tech industry's impossible math strikes again! The classic paradox where companies want you to be simultaneously young enough to work for peanuts but experienced enough to have built half the internet. Next they'll ask for your GitHub contributions from preschool. I've seen seniors with less experience requirements than some "junior" positions these days.

Give Me One Reason I Shouldn't Take It

That moment when a departing dev becomes the most dangerous person in the company. The two-weeks-notice developer suddenly transforms from "just another coder" to "possessor of all corporate secrets" in management's eyes. Companies panic like they've just realized their entire codebase is now a hostage situation. Meanwhile, the dev is thinking "You ignored my code reviews for 3 years, but now you're worried about what I know?" Pro tip: If your entire business collapses because one developer leaves with source code knowledge, your problem isn't the developer—it's your nonexistent documentation.
