Your day job, in 2019, is COBOL on OpenVMS? really? Tell me more. Is this new code? Are you using new hardware? Do you want my old alpha?

Been doing this for just over a year and mostly been doing new development where the need has just asrisen.

We run Itanium (exciting that the first OpenVMS X86 boot was recently) and when/if I can afford a house it's going to have plenty of hard toys!

Shameless plug for r/homelab- if you're interested in doing server stuff at home, they're a great community to be a part of.
