My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Maybe the Christians should read their own bible

Proverbs 28:26
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.

Meaning:

for hardcore christians there are several church rites that can only be performed in person, and the communion doesn't count if you aren't there in person. ie, christianity is supposed to be hard, because christ suffered you will suffer to following him and bear your own cross.

then there is the argument those same hardcore christians are making of "if we don't follow through on this despite the danger, people will think we are full of poo poo, and then we will lose the war on abortion, sex, and gay marriage and that will destroy the church and metaphysics" which means they aren't going to give this up. jesus babies demand it!

The language itself isn't bad, but you need a lot of mainframe knowledge to understand what you're doing, and that mainframe knowledge isn't easy to come by. It typically takes a couple of years of exposure to TSO and ISPF and the app servers (CICS or IMS) or JCL for batch stuff for new people to get proficient doing mainframe stuff. Basically imagine a language that can only be effectively developed in command line Linux and vim, then try to get somebody who's only ever touched Windows to learn it. Also the OS is completely different about things like resource sharing, logging, configuring things, etc

If it were easy then there would already be a ton of younger mainframe developers

Also a big thing that stops anybody from learning mainframe stuff is that you need, well, a mainframe. Not like learning how to do anything else where you can just download the stack and be off and running
