I learned how to program in its collaborative software when I worked in the DocuMerge dept at Progressive Insurance. Our team mostly programmed in COBOL.
I’m not well-versed in programming or coding but I DO know that COBOL refuses to die. Only because my son codes and he happened to bring it up. Go figure.
I find that if you know the older languages and things like mainframe and Unix, you will probably always have a job in our lifetimes and our children’s as well. At least in the education, insurance, financial, and health care sectors. I feel like I might have switched one.But they’re slow to change.
