We're Millennials, we're system engineers, we work on Mainframe and we use Python.
Mainframe is often seen as the 'other side', the 'old side', the one that will be decommissioned. I work at a Belgian Company with several other Millennials on Mainframe. Why do young people choose Mainframe out of all other possibilities?
I want you to show you hands-on what being a Mainframe System Engineer is by explaining some concepts. Showing the traditional interface to Mainframe but also some open source interfaces such as the Zowe CLI, Zowe Desktop and VS Code integration. Explain about datasets, jobs and USS, the Unix port built in into our Mainframe operating system called 'z/OS'. USS enables us to run open source software on the worlds first real (;-)) computer.
