There are worse things. I'd rather work on Cobol than in PHP4, or in a project where I have to deal with front-end stuff done using JS and back-end stuff that relies on the NPM package ecosystem.

I vowed to never work in COBOL. Then, a consulting gig in RPG III convinced me otherwise.

Good point about NPM! I'd rather not work with either technology.
