I’ve seen a few, 9 figure projects to replace essentially 6 devs and three sysadmins.

Another proposed replacement about to fail now, after half the COBOL devs were laid off.

So if anyone needs a remote openvms/hp nonstop or junior z/os dev :D

Curious why the COBOL devs were laid off if they're in the middle of a modernization or some sort of replacement project?
