I really wouldn't want any vibe-coded COBOL in my bank db/app logic...

vibecoding != AI.

For example: I'm a senior dev, I use AI extensively but I fully understand and vet every single line of code I push. No exceptions. Not even in tests.

Does the use AI always implies slope and vibe coding? I’m really not sure

How many banks really use COBOL? Here in central Europe it seems to be Java, Java, Java for the most part. Since many years actually.

Management loves trying to save money, a bunch of grads with AI have differently had a project to try to write COBOL!
