12. Sweet talk

Even tho I do understand much of what you’ve described. I have an idea what COBOL is. The software company I worked for was in 1997. It was proprietary software used for textile design in the fashion industry. We had a fun team of programmers.
I came to really appreciate their outlook, humor everything. The system ran on Unix. It was incredibly expensive, but we sold a lot of it. Prior I had learned autoCAD on DOS using C prompt commands. And Photoshop on Apple. It made me a good candidate to use the software & sell it. The interface was not as nice as photoshop but not bad, and it was far more powerful.
I did learn a whole lot about updates, bugs, and beta testing. Fix a bug, break something else, you just don’t know immediately always what was broken.
