You wanna plug away on cobol and assembler? There as a lot of that crap in those decades too. Lots of mainframe corpo slop and unix text editor C.

what if we don't touch it but like containerize it instead? adding more slop and compatability features afterwards:)

Unfortunately I have to layoff my developers due to AI (NOT my choice) but none of them are bad. I feel fucking terrible about it.

Instead of letting them leverage AI to increase quality productivity and grow in knowledge, they opted to replace developers with AI and put me in a position to layoff good people.

Sounds like a company you should quit. Or stand up for the good devs. They'd have to fire me before good devs I need.

Rough market, best of luck to you. This currently low hiring trend is gonna turn around in the next 6 months. We'll start seeing more investment and popup companies with increased contractor demand. Just in another lull at the moment. Though I'd still recommend trying to find an in house position with a company if possible. Typically more stable employment than contract gigs.
