In the 90’s, many of the clowns here battled me over the demise of the platform. I was right. Into the years subsequent to Y2K, numerous people here kept saying the mainframe’s days were numbered. They were wrong. IBM is not MSFT. But, they are hitting it out of the ballpark and the platform isn’t going away anytime soon. Anyone wanting a guaranteed career of 30-40 years should get trained in COBOL. COBOL code still runs the world and will for decades into the future. The mainframe is dead, long live the mainframe!
