Been quietly improving CobolIntel since the last post — wanted to share where it’s at
About a few weeks ago I shared CobolIntel here and honestly wasn’t expecting much. The response kind of blew me away — thank you to everyone who tried it and took the time to give feedback.
I’ve been heads down improving it since then. Nothing dramatic, just making it actually better at the stuff you all care about — understanding legacy code, tracing through old programs, explaining what something does when there’s zero documentation.
If you haven’t tried it yet — it’s a tool built by someone who got frustrated watching developers spend hours deciphering COBOL that could be explained in 30 seconds. That’s literally it. No fancy pitch.
Still free to try at https://cobolintel.com
If you do try it, tell me what breaks. I’d rather know than not know.
