Re: Computerworld lists obsolete job titles

Tell ‘em to hire a Java programmer and train them in RPG. Introduce them via the free-form version (latest) and then when they are comfortable with that show them the old ugly stuff if you have to.

We have several clients who have used this approach and it works very well.

It is particularly gratifying when you hear the Java programmers discussing rewriting some of their Java code in RPG because “It will be a hell of a lot simpler”.
