I took a course in COBOL when I was in Unversity. The professor was in industry but taught one night class a semester.
He started the class by talking about how when he learned COBOL, they told him this would make developers obsolete because it would let managers build their own solution. In his experience, it made developers even more valuable because “give a manager five minutes with a codebase, give a developer a job for five years cleaning the mess up.”
