Having mentioned a brief Roku maintenance rotation on my resume I got to see how desperate the recruiters for BrightScript devs are.

I did jokingly consider diving into it as a lucrative niche skill, like maintaining Cobol apps.

I think COBOL devs don’t get paid all that much. They just train fresh grads in cheap markets. The premium wages for COBOL were certainly a thing in the Y2K days.
Did you get anyone interested?
