Im looking forward in the next 2 years when AI apps are in the wild and I get to fix them lol.
As a SR dev, the wheel just keeps turning.

Try opencobol. You may have more success.
Some cobols like rm COBOL require a literal custom Linux header in order to work with SQL. Others work with odbcs natively.
It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.
A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.
I used to work with COBOL. The language isn’t terrible, it’s the 40+ years of no context changes that suck. It even works with SQL… although the most common configuration is using a flat file.
When the worst case is to lose your job and never deal with the legacy code again.
7·1 month agoI had the same issue. I had to turn off AI features and it started working again. Specifically it stopped working on a peice of legacy code that had hundreds of thousands of lines of code all in one file. No idea what version of vscode but it was fairly recent.
7·2 months agoOne universal login via fediverse sounds like a dream. I would love that.
Sdf is pretty amazing.
It has its uses. For templeting and/or getting a small project off the ground its useful. It can get you 90% of the way there.
But the meme is SOOO correct. AI does not understand what it is doing, even with context. The things JR devs are giving me really make me laugh. I legit asked why they were throwing a very old version of react on the front end of a new project and they stated they “just did what chatgpt told them” and that it “works”. Thats just last month or so.
The AI that is out there is all based on old posts and isnt keeping up with new stuff. So you get a lot of the same-ish looking projects that have some very strange/old decisions to get around limitations that no longer exist.
