Re: What is a Modern RPG Programmer???

Reading the original request in the context of an iSeries shop advertising
for a programmer, I see a couple of points.

First, a counter question might be to ask the version of their system(s).
The answer to that question might go a long ways in the discussion. Plus,
it shows that the applicant is at least aware that the version level makes
a lot of difference in what can be done.

Second, there would be nothing wrong in explaining you aren't sure what
they mean by "modern programming", and respond using many of the comments
here.

Modern programming is a silly concept, as we who program IBM systems know:
programming is layered, and some of the strata are geological.

But what's very big today is microservices.
