<p>My friends who have spent a lifetime learning how to make stable change on critical systems will be forced to adapt to help stabilize the tools that lost them their jobs.</p><p>Some of them will find a way through, some of them will join the Cobal programmers I have met in other industries throughout the world.</p><p>They have told me they were let go because they were getting old, or didn’t want to change.

<p>Everyone maintained a level of objectivity and criticism. Following that, everyone listened to one another's heartfelt stories. We were given the opportunity to show our vulnerable side - and I was already crying before it was my turn to tell everyone in the room my story.</p>
<p>Chel listened to everybody. <br />Everybody listened to him. </p><p>The room was a safe place for the exchange of ideas. Chel encouraged the students to challenge the conventional wisdom of politics. He, too, was challenged by them. But none of us felt threatened.</p>
