Best of 2018: The Beauty of the COBOL Programming Language
As we close out 2018, we at staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud wanted to highlight the five most popular articles of the year. Following is the first in our weeklong series of the Best of 2018.

Let’s Bury Bimodal Thinking in Enterprise IT
We still hear a lot about mode-1 and mode-2 in enterprise IT. Like many other large enterprises, you might have adopted the terminology introduced by Gartner and use it every day to shape the way you deliver and operate technology. However, I have always been uncomfortable with the idea of bimodal, as it ignores architectural […]
Where is the Next Generation of Mainframe Talent?
Are we potentially facing a shortage of mainframe talent? “Three of us set up this tool in 1989. One is retired, and the other person is somewhere in heaven!” That was the remark of Alf (name changed), the senior mainframe architect at a large European enterprise, as he pointed toward the ceiling of the meeting […]
Dependency Based Build Promotes the Freedom to Program
Whenever I want to be amazed, all I need to do is reflect on the fact that the continuing development of the Linux operating system is done essentially by a community of volunteers. That’s right!

With the onset of conference season I have been running a bit ragged. But something I noticed at the recent IBM Think 2018 Conference really needs to be called to attention: DevOps was still a prominent theme at IBM Think. But instead of having a dedicated DevOps theater or DevOps section of the show floor, […]
