COBOL legacy systems in finance and government are somewhat of a meme. However, I've never actually met a single person who's day job is to maintain one. I'd be curious to learn what systems are you working on?

I worked with COBOL in banking, a lifetime ago. It was one of my first jobs.

Batch jobs, clunky and very verbose programs, nothing interesting. I... hated it.

Ask HN: Any active COBOL devs here? What are you working on?
