In light of recent events, friendly reminder that @fincs@mastodon.social has been a thing for... (checks) 3 years apparently.

Friendly reminder that I don't really use this place anymore. Besides the network on my pinned post, I now have an account on the "azure heaven" platform too (handle: fincs), although my primary network continues to be that of my pinned post.

I recently saw an IBM presentation on how AI will help eliminate COBOL once and for all. Basically, they are trying to sell a tool that uses their WatsonX cloud service to convert COBOL to Java with the help of the current buzzword named generative AI. Let me tell you, COBOL has outlasted most of the tech that was invented since 1965 and I think it will outlast generative AI, too.
