My goal for the next few months is to talk to as many veteran developers as possible, especially those with experience in banking, finance, COBOL, mainframes, and legacy systems.

I'm building FinKore, and I believe decades of real-world financial knowledge shouldn't disappear when systems are replaced.

I've prepared a short interview to collect those experiences. You don't need to answer everything. Even one story or lesson can make a difference.

Every one of these developers carries knowledge that no documentation, modern framework, or AI can fully replace. Your experience matters, and I want to make sure it helps shape the next generation of financial software.
