    I know COBOL, its pretty easy to pick up honestly. Its just the 40+ years of context and the "WHY"s that they did what they did that is hard.

    With how many people are looking for COBOL I really should just make a resume specific to it, put salary * 1.2 and see if any remote positions pop up. Love my job, but with the latest news…
