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’m not affiliated, but this made me think of this AI for COBOL startup: https://www.cobolcopilot.com/

For some reason I think we’re all drawn to the idea of working with an older language. I wonder why!

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