Cobol Stickers

Hope you like it.

Say hello in a unique and nerdy way.

Back in the good old days printers used gigantic, tractor-fed, green bar lined paper... and we liked it that way. Featuring both a snippet of a COBOL program and a dig at how old you are if you remember this.

NOT FORTRAN STILL COBOL

COBOL NOT FORTRAN

Two buzzards atop an abandoned car in the desert talking about COBOL.

Grace Hopper was a computing genius, a scientist, a glass-ceiling breaker, a feminist, and an all-around badass. With Grace Hopper on your shirt or laptop, you will be imbued with her indomitable spirit and never write a bad line of code again. In the 1940s, Hopper found the first computer bug (which was an actual bug – a moth that got caught in a circuit relay). In the 1950s, she invented compiled programming languages, one of which was COBOL, and is still used today. She was on ‘60 Minutes’ and David Letterman. Her energy and innovations have shaped the future of programming and inspired a generation to think critically about the cost of their “nanoseconds".

A simple shirt with the name of a simple language. Those who are in the know, know what it signifies.

funny comment on the coding generations

funny COBOL quote "reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." A Mark Twain mashup. We can't say that COBOL is still going strong, but it's not quite dead yet. Distressed black typewriter text.

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper superimposed over a bit of classic COBOL code. Grace Hopper is an authentic computer science Rock Star. In the 1940s, Hopper found the first computer bug (which was an actual bug - a moth that got caught in a circuit relay). In the 1950s, she invented compiled programming languages, one of which was COBOL, and is still used today. She was on '60 Minutes' and David Letterman. Grace Hopper was one of the pioneers and leading architects of the modern computing era. Her energy and innovations have shaped the future of programming and inspired a generation to think critically about the cost of their "nanoseconds". Owing to the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Hopper (DDG-70)

"It's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission." A classic quote from nerd-hero Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, who developed COBOL and was an early pioneer in computing.
