@C0D4 Doesn't prevent the actual problems. I did find a browser they can't manage though, chrome beta worked for a while.

Now I can restore tabs!

Maybe the business requirement you set is wrong? But idk im just a scrub with 1/50 the pay.

@bittersweet @bittersweet So you want 2012 Netflix?

I bet it's still top 3 most useful predictors for movie choise.

They could just not ask, figure it out after a few videos and let it be.

Haven't had any code review yet after a year as a mainframe dev.

@NameError we have to double our infrastructure to handle the inevitable doubling of the customer base!

In the beginning it might feel like you need root a lot. You don't. Learn to love the sudo and best practices!

Welcome to the club.

@Codex404 I carry stuff around in my backpack every day =). On the laptop just the same team members would see them often!

@On-fire Ears

One copy of the data or it all being in the same location is no backup.

9k euro wtf. Just started my COBOL job at 29 yrs yesterday :D. I get 2.7k eur/mo but thats standars for all their devs. Will see what happens over time.

Oh god its OSX or massybe MacOS. iMac? you are hating all wrong.

It was three months of full time studies to be deployed as a consultant to businesses that still run mainframes.

Aaaaargh. Ffs. Nnnngh.

I KNEW this would happen. He was a disaster all way through but not optional to include him.

Yeah. No.

@Loeina I do not know yet. We'll see soon!

@Loeina iSeries is what is used in-house but I might be consulted out to a company that runs z/OS!

Nice that there are other mainframers here. Got the COBOL down pretty well, but there is so much to learn surrounding it in the systems. :D

That HR persons name?
Steve Jobs.

I was offered a two year contract with a good salary (even if not working), so that covers safety. LinkedIn has been a blast lately as well. But I'll stay with my employer for the time being.

Started looking at COBOL years ago since it reminded me of the C64 I had when the other kids had Playstations.

Got to the doctors office one morning and everything was down as computers were auto updating to win10 before staff got there in the morning.

@drekhi12 Around here it's 'kod', but my tummy wants cod =(

Can't handle coffee anymore. Crohns disease =/

Red bull doesn't upset the stomach, but then I need tea as well for comfort.

@senzory Yeah, crap. Guess I have to get back to building it anyway now.

But it seems the new version is twice as good as it 403s

@electric-ghost I wish I was born before my parents.

@electric-ghost A lot of stuff running on mainframes (or iSeries) still. We just had serious issues finding teachers not showing MicroFocus though.

@disco I have to add to the line numbering.

@segfault0xff

I just opened a demo program from a COBOL class held this spring.

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. CIRCDEMO.
DATE-COMPILED. 03/06/88.

@zlice Thanks a ton! I feel I received a warm welcome here =)

Same start as we had in uni. And it became much more bearable, very quickly.

You have people with their only real desktop experience being facebook in the introductory classes. It should get better in a week or two.

Oh and if you have labs with TA:s, expext a quick ramp-up of the tempo.
