As an ABAP developer, I thought "that doesn't sound too bad".

I definitely need to get out of there before my brain rots further.

And for anyone curious: https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_751_index_htm/7.51/en-us/a... Those are the keywords, about a third of that list is obsolete and you usually need multiple of them to make a valid statement. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I love how the numbers 1 to 7 are keywords and 8 and 9 aren't.

At first I thought it might have some weird connection to octal, but then I noticed that 0 isn’t a keyword, but ZERO is.

Hah, that takes me back!! MY first internship was at SAP and I foolishly didn't even ask which technologies I would work with... ABAP is literally the worst lol. This was 2018 btw

At SAP, you get to use all the latest features and are free to change basically anything. On the customer/consulting side, we get to work around terrible ancient standard implementations and our products need to work on old systems, so 700 syntax it is.

And don't get me started on forms.

That's why I never saw any SAP job paying peanuts...
