I spent ~35 years working in and around government IT systems.
The recent claims about AI finally making COBOL “modernization” feasible got me thinking: if AI can understand, refactor, and generate COBOL safely, doesn’t that undercut the core argument for rewriting these systems in the first place?
Curious how others who’ve lived through large rewrites see this.
