Ever get the feeling that modern web dev has become… a bit too complex?
Sometimes I catch myself thinking about the “good old days”. When you could just write some code, compile it, and run it without worrying about all the dependencies, the build tools, the client-side rendering, the server-side rendering, the server components, and all the other buzzwords that are thrown around in the web dev world… just code doing its thing.
And honestly, I think that feeling isn’t totally wrong. Maybe we can make things simpler, faster, more straightforward again.
So naturally… I decided to embrace the future by going back to the past: COBOL.
Here’s my (100% serious, definitely not questionable) migration story.

Without it segfaulting right?
Segfault are natural things. If it happens just run
rm - rf /and it’ll fix it.Along with every other technology related problem. 👏Done and done!
