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 knew a guy who wrote a lot of 360 assembler back in the day, never a COBOL programmer.

I was a consultant at a very large insurance company in the 90s when the dictate came from the top “no more assembler”. There were a few groans from the audience of developers.
