“If you’re a COBOL programmer, chances are good you can land a job at a major institution that’s maintained a COBOL codebase since before you were born.”

Learned COBOL and some mathematical programming language in the early Seventies.
COBOL reminds me of Medieval architecture...

FORTRAN!
That was the mathematic programming language I learned back then.

Afterwards briefly had a period of creating games- but abandoned it since it was silly...
