My first professional dev job was COBOL and it's associated tech, a majority of the stuff we did was banking stuff and at the time it seemed like that's what a majority of the COBOL market took up but I could be wrong

Ah COBOL, oddly enough I started my first dev job in COBOL in the banking industry(I'm in my 30s and started my professional coding career in my 20s), I have mixed feelings about it...it's a weird language but it has it's place, I wouldn't advise anyone to jump into a COBOL career path unless you are doing it for a job and a job alone.

This looks really awesome I've always been curious of mental models so I just ordered a copy from Amazon. Also Gabriel, kudos to your work and DDG, I'm right near DDG headquarters and it's nice to know things like DDG are being created in my area.

Why learn Rust over C++?
I think quite a few companies(and maybe even a good majority of them) will end up overpromising and underdelivering when it comes to AI products.

I'm in PA as well and have always wanted to take my kids but maybe I'll wait until they are a little older, thanks for the tip.

Hi Adora, can two members of the same company each sign-up or should all members of the company go under one account? Thank you!
As someone who takes colistin regularly, this is frightening.
