February is Black History Month. Odd that they chose the shortest month of the year for that. I wrote and re-wrote a fair amount this month. I think I have found a rhythm, although very few folk have noticed. So be it, I write for me. Enjoy the Leap Day!
February 2024 Writings by Me

COBOL underpins most financial systems, and sometimes they need old programmers to come in to fix it (and we are becoming fewer and fewer). A rehash by me, but I stand by my thoughts.

That was a fair amount of writing for a short month.
