Do you know COBOL? If so, New Jersey governor Phil Murphy would like to chat with you. The state's overloaded unemployment system runs on the old programming language called COBOL and they need a team to help them dissect it. “We have systems that are 40-plus years old,” the governor said, after calling it "COBOLT" (there's no "T"). From my PM Slog (thanks to everyone still at The Stranger for keeping us informed).
New York Magazine gives an in-depth article on this. My favorite Phil Murphy quote, “There’ll be lots of postmortems, and one of them will be how the heck did we get here?" Well Phil, i think we could say that about essentially everything that has happened in the last 2 months.
