Pretty sure that knowing COBOL isn’t the hard part. It has relatively few language concepts.
This lack of language concepts just makes it difficult to reason about it, so that’s what you’re getting a paycheck for. Well, and possibly also because it might take months to have a new dev figure out your legacy codebase, so it’s cheaper to keep the current dev by paying them competitive prices.
Not quite. More like per 40 hour week with no overtime, but my father insists on having up to 20 hours a week of overtime he’s allowed to burn, so it’s kinda like $7,500 a week. He generally gets paid byweekly or monthly. Subcontractor and all that BS
your paycheck is $5000 because you know COBOL

that’s why it’s $7500.
COBOL. That’s why he’s a subcontractor. Not like they taught COBOL in my CS courses in university in 1998-2002.
