HN is a place where everyone is, so it's reasonable to assume that some Cobol devs may also lurk here.

Shout out to all the MUMPS programmers out there reading HN. May your code always be healthy.

  • There's more MUMPS programming going around than many people believe, especially in financials...

    Including new development.

Everyone except most developers I know.

  • This is oddly true in my experience. I ask people where they get their information from and the channels are generally a lot more sparse than topics posted to HN.

    If I were to venture to guess: I'd say "most developers" seek work-life balance and aren't interested in reading long-form articles on how to do X or Y when they are off the clock.
