Not sure why the use of COBOL is written in the past tense given that it is still widely used.

I cut my teeth on both COBOL and flowcharts and still find the latter immensely useful for working out logical flows in my code.

Much better to work out the foundations before cutting the code. Leads to higher quality in my opinion.
