One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
I have genuinely thought about learning COBOL, FORTRAN or FoxPro. The closest I came was an old job where lots of their code was still FoxPro. If you can take he learning curve and are happy mainly working in maintenance type roles there’s a lot of money to be made with those languages.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
