Just an IS/CS graduate looking for where I belong. Currently working as a COBOL developer and doing side-projects.

There's no churn, it's great. And there's plenty to learn once you get in, depending on where you go. COBOL requires knowing a good bit about the business itself, so it's hard to get bored with it. At least, I haven't…
Yes, this exactly. Whenever I tell people I'm a mainframe developer, they always ask how they can learn COBOL. Oh, that's the easy part. The environment is very different and takes a while to get used to, but it's where…
I'm also a young developer that works with COBOL, but I work in the insurance sector. The environment you describe is also how it's like here. And I've never worked with such nice and intelligent people! One thing I…
Nobody expects you to know everything when you're starting out, even if you have that fancy degree that you spent years on. That degree just shows them you have the aptitude to learn how their business works and they're…
Haha, same. I may get to do some Java, but there's no telling.
I actually liked the way the story was told and the errors didn't bother me. I was able to get a sense of how excited you are about your new career! :)
I guess it depends on your animal's feeding habits. My dogs don't overeat, so we just leave the food out and refill it when needed. Dry food, that is. For wet food, they'd just about fight over it.
Okay, wow, that's a huge hole in their system. Is there any indication that Nintendo is aware of this and is trying to patch it? Or has it been patched already?
Just finished reading most of "Busted!" Wow, this website's gold. I love to read this kind of stuff. Do you have any favorites you'd mind sharing?
I've dealt with bullies in this way too. It does depend on the bully, as well if the victim is capable of completely ignoring someone like that. As a child, I wouldn't have been able to show no emotion on my face and…
In every instance that I was bullied and the bully stopped messing with me, it was because I stood up for myself, either by telling the kid off or slapping/punching the kid in front of all their friends and embarrassing…
Yep. I'm working as a COBOL developer now and the language itself is fairly simple to read and write. The hard part is learning the systems in place and how everything talks to each other, since the systems have been in…
I would think it'd mostly be a PR nightmare and they wouldn't be liable financially for any damages since the device has been recalled. Headlines like "Samsung device causes airplane to go up in flames" would really…
I actually carry a big purse when I go to the movies to keep everyone's snacks and drinks from the dollar store down the street, just for this reason. If the movie theater's snacks/drinks were reasonably priced, I would…
I went the community-college-then-university route as well. I got enough credits to get an associate's degree before transferring and was able to put that on my resume, which I feel got me some attention when I was…
The fact that credits weren't transferable always seemed so shady to me. That just made it seemed that whatever credits you did earn weren't legitimate or worth anything if they couldn't be equated to credits at another…
I really feel for all the students who are so close to graduating and not knowing if they'll have anything to show for it.. And their credits will most likely not transfer to another school because of the different…
I agree. It seems like everything on the news is blown out of proportion and beaten to death in an attempt to fill the day with "interesting" stuff. No, this is just making people scared to go outside and actually enjoy…
I also think interest has died down because users in suburban/rural areas (like myself) are getting tired of not having any Pokestops to refill on Pokeballs within walking distance. It was fun and interesting driving to…
Maybe you should look for someone to proofread the website, especially the front page. Too many typos and grammatical errors will drive users away.
That's true. I believe I make enough to manage a decent-to-nice apartment on my own, so I won't have to have a roommate to make rent. Right now, I'm just saving up and paying off student loans and my credit card and…
I'm currently dealing with if I want to rent out an apartment by myself or if I want to find a roommate/friend to share it with. On one hand, YAY NO PEOPLE AND FULL CONTROL OF THE PLACE; on the other hand, I don't want…
My main peeve is them removing the My Herd feature, which allowed you to set a city/campus as your "home" Herd. You were able to interact with your Herd even when you weren't in the immediate area. I still had mine set…
That's the same view members of my family have. Yet some of them are on food stamps and mad that they can't get Medicaid. Well, duh, when you support the very politicians that are fighting against YOUR ability to get…
"After he was discharged from the hospital, Oregón went to the disability office, filed the appropriate paperwork, and, in September of 2014, acquired his Medicaid card. Two months later, however, he received notice…
