@Thornburywitch heh.
Yup, same - Thomas Miller in London (marine mutual insurance). Reasonably coherent code base (entire back end on AS/400, all business logic in RPG, COBOL, or SQL) But the code base was large, all data at rest & all decision logic coded with 2-digit years… And yeah we got there somehow, and woke up tired & hung -over to headlines about how the problem was exaggerated.
If we survive global warming by rebuilding the entire global economy on renewables it’ll be the same.

All too true. Happily someone else’s problem from my perspective having moved on to another industry.
@Thornburywitch I still work in tech but not at the code face anymore so yep, very happy to SEP it :D
