At least don't write the code in an assembly of your times :).

Yeah, those assembly-writing badasses making $500k at HFT funds are really hurting. :)

What you want to avoid is writing 2014 COBOL, and that's what typical enterprise Java is. There'll be jobs maintaining that stuff for a while... But little mobility into anything more exciting.

Yeah, all ~100 of them.

Better normal Java than it's scripting counterpart though (the assembly of the web).
