The market being what it is, I took a job in ColdFusion last year.
There are people here who have worked in the same CF codebase for over twenty years. They might start and finish their careers in a language everyone else forgot about decades ago.
I think Ruby has enough momentum that career Rubyists will have a home for as long as they want one.
How'd you find the job? And was it remote?
I spent 2 years coding in ColdFusion maybe 25 years ago. I've got experience!
Smart. Bravo.
Buddy of mine pivoted to doing just SQL and road into retirement as a DBA.
With hindsight, we both wished we had gone all-in on SQL way back when.
That is actually a smart move. You only have to learn SQL once to use it for 50 years.
The foundations yes, the rest only if you never change between RDMS products.
On my 50s, learnt SQL around 1996, have used SQL across Access, Informix, DB2, Sybase SQL Server, MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, PrestoDB, Neo4j.
