“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”
“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”
“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”
“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”
Artyom ( @Artyom@lemm.ee ) 8•2 months agoHonestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.

driving_crooner ( @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br ) 43•2 months agoI had a friend in Argentina whose father was a Fortran programmer and teach him it since he was a kid. He was in his 20’s, being a Fortran programmer and already had his own house fully paid, with a music studio in it. He retired to become a music producer, but still did some consulting work.
Good luck little Fortran, hope you can learn and enjoy your work.

macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.org ) 38•2 months agoAt least it’s not COBOL.
Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 26•2 months agoI learnt COBOL (I’m old) it’s a very easy language, you basically talk, for instance to do c=a*b you write:
MULTIPLY A TO B GIVING C
and everything is tabbed, but in a good editor like emacs, it’s done automatically pretty well.
BeigeAgenda ( @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca ) 14•2 months agoI was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.
And it seemed like there’s not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn’t really use it for small projects.
connaisseur ( @connaisseur@feddit.org ) 12•2 months agoThe issue with COBOL surely isn‘t about the language itself. The real challenge will be to decipher the spaghetti code that was created at a company in the last sixty or so years. And then to dare changing something without breaking the program as a whole.
BeigeAgenda ( @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca ) 8•2 months agoThat’s easy you just use the huge number of test cases to ensure against introducing new bugs.
