Thought Leaders: "Programming will be obsolete within 5 years. All business software will be generated by AIs"

Actual Businesses: "actually we're mainly still on-premise, running on Windows Server 2003 and VBScript ASP, but our two-year plan to migrate everything into a cloud kicked off in 2015 and we're making steady progress."

@mirrorsandstuff @dylanbeattie It's really funny that you mention this. I'm a student applying for internships and had one company call back asking if I knew Fortran. If it exists, it will never die.

If you're good in software development in general, Fortran will be easy for you to learn. Just try not to let it influence your software design style ;)
