[Secret Agent Man]

Honestly I don’t miss it. I liked Fortran and some Cobol. As an engineer we didn’t use cobol - business school did - but when I was at AT+T during y2k work I was going through their cobol code and dealing with making sure year dates were handled correctly.

Floor sort, now I never heard of that so I guess it's a regional thing. Cobol is what finally got the better of me. I was supposed to modify a program my boss wrote, and I did not understand his logic. I didn't need flow charts generally for my own work.

Those dates were Julian so they could be used mathematically. Somebody encouraged me to get on the y2k Cobol bandwagon but I didn't want the repsonnsibility if I got an airline app, etc.

I guess I don't miss it either. I'm not that brilliant and had to struggle, was always tense that something would happen I couldn't figure out. I did like the mental challenge sometimes though. I did solve some hard problems sometimes.
