Por qué tu Próximo Trabajo Podría Tener 60 Años
El tsunami de la IA está remodelando drásticamente el software. La demanda persiste, pero las herramientas de IA están transformando el entorno.
Mientras la IA amenaza los lenguajes de programación modernos, COBOL seguirá en demanda.
COBOL no es programación: es arqueología digital y trabajo de detective, descifrando décadas de evolución empresarial, cambios regulatorios y capas de parches y reparaciones.
Mientras la IA transforma el desarrollo de software, los bancos, las compañías de seguros, todo el mundo empresarial no puede sobrevivir sin los programadores de COBOL, y estos se están jubilando en masa. ¡300 mil millones de líneas de código activo! El 75 por ciento de las transacciones financieras pasan por COBOL.
En esta sesión, exploraré las complejidades de los sistemas COBOL, las lucrativas oportunidades que esperan y cómo los desarrolladores pueden convertirse en los guardianes esenciales de la infraestructura digital global.
La IA eventualmente analizará, comprenderá y mantendrá el código COBOL, pero llevará tiempo. Por lo tanto, una carrera en COBOL es una buena elección de carrera.
COBOL Innovation: Breathing Life into Legacy
Billions of lines of code written by dedicated people over the years—many working under intense pressure, solved complex financial problems, creating the backbone of global economies.
COBOL, a programming language sixty five years old, still powers 80% of financial transactions.
However COBOL programs are complex and undocumented, making them difficult for new programmers to understand. The retirement of experienced COBOL programmers leads to delays and increased costs for financial institutions in maintaining and updating their systems.
And there is no documentation.
Introducing COBOL Toolkit, a revolutionary application designed to simplify COBOL code management. Our tool scans, analyses, and extracts business logic from COBOL programs, creating documentation and presenting a user-friendly flowchart visualisation. This enables developers to quickly understand and maintain the code, saving time and reducing costs.

The AI Tsunami and the COBOL Ark: Why Your Next Job Might Be 60 Years Old
AI tsunami dramatically reshapes software. Demand remains, but AI tools are transforming the environment.
While AI threatens modern programming languages, COBOL will be in demand.
COBOL isn't programming—it is digital archaeology and detective work, deciphering decades of business evolution, regulatory changes, and layers of patches and repatches.
While AI transforms software development banks, insurance companies, the whole business world cannot survive without the COBOL programmers and they are retiring en masse. 300 billion lines of active code! 75 percent of the financial transactions go through COBOL.
In this session I explore the intricacies of COBOL systems, the lucrative opportunities that await, and how developers can become the essential keepers of the global digital infrastructure.
AI eventually will analyze, understand and maintain legacy COBOL code, but it will take time. Thus, a COBOL career is a good career choice.
COBOL Rivoluzionario: L'Eredità Rinasce
Miliardi di linee di codice scritte da persone dedicate nel corso degli anni, molte delle quali lavorano sotto intensa pressione, hanno risolto complessi problemi finanziari, creando la infrastrutura delle economie globali. COBOL, un linguaggio di programmazione vecchio di sessantacinque anni, processa ancora l'80% delle transazioni finanziarie. Pero, i programmi COBOL sono complessi e non documentati, rendendoli difficili da comprendere per i nuovi programmatori. Il pensionamento dei programmatori COBOL esperti porta a ritardi e costi aumentati per le istituzioni finanziarie nella manutenzione e aggiornamento dei loro sistemi. E non c'è nessuna documentazione.
Introducendo COBOL Toolkit, un'applicazione rivoluzionaria progettata per semplificare la gestione del codice COBOL. Il nostro strumento scansiona, analizza ed estrae la business logic dai programmi COBOL, creando documentazione e presentando una visualizzazione del flusso di lavoro facile da usare. Questo consente agli sviluppatori di comprendere e mantenere rapidamente il codice, risparmiando tempo e riducendo i costi.
