@sjvn Is there an exit strategy? @Habrok42

@sjvn COBOL maintenance team by day… Portland ICE protest crew by night! 😁

@sjvn dinosaurs in that they are very old, but not dinosaurs in that they are extinct. Lots of ancient COBOL is still running and doing vital service.

@sjvn Prompted me to go check -- and, yes, the Debian package repository has a Cobol compiler.

@sjvn hello happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

@sjvn Is that still a thing? I know COBOL - probably one of the last to be taught it :p

@sjvn I didn't knew that Dinosaurs can code! 😀

@sjvn looks good

@sjvn
Two fingers typists ?

@neontapir

Was just reminded this week, in a couple of months [16 Jan], is forty years since I started my first full time job. A COBOL job.

Were did you get the team kit?

@sjvn happy Halloween, from new York

@sjvn Pft. Bunch of dinosaurs coding COBOL. Not surprising

;)

@sjvn This is what all offices will sound like when voice interaction with office computers becomes standard.

Since there's no ALT text: The image shows a room with dinosaurs seated at desks, busily operating modern-looking computer equipment.

#COBOL #dinosaurs #computers

@sjvn I do not believe you guys didn't get the evening off. Thank you for working for us. Happy Halloween I will eat plenty of chocolate just for you

@sjvn
And I thought COBOL was extinct!

@sjvn Happy Halloween 🎃 let's get things pumped up

@sjvn One of your monitors should have dressed up as a line printer and one of the keyboards should have dressed up as a punch card reader.

@sjvn No one in this room is able to use shortcuts🦖

@sjvn
I so love their self irony 🙌

@sjvn Aren't T-Rex a bit young to know COBOL?

@sjvn 👏😀

I worked on COBOL on VMS once and endured "Are you out of the working storage section yet" from an officemate using PL/1 and a believer in "throwaway code" (appropriately, it was unreadable gibberish).
