Pretty sure the only Cobol programmers left at this point are Gen X and older.

People are still on Windows because of massive industry momentum, and as the developers shift from being mostly Gen X and older millennials, to younger millennials and Gen z, things are getting progressively shittier. And it's not only due to c-suite driven enshitification.

    The funny thing is that we've got a ton of legacy hardware that still runs it, mostly in the public sector. But since GenX/Millennials avoided public jobs like the plague, what we're seeing now are Boomers left to teach it to the incoming ranks of GenZs who can't get a job in the dying Silicon Valley sector.
