I'm officially an old developer! Someone ask me if I wanted to do an interview for a COBOL job. (I've only ever vibe coded COBOL, which is harder than it sounds because the COBOL you get back generally isn't executable with out futzing with it)
But no, I was not there when Grace Hopper was coding up the 1st. I wasn't alive in 1969.
