In this Spanish-language podcast episode, host Manuel Rubio interviews programmer Juan Antonio Rubio García about his journey from early hobbyist computing with a ZX Spectrum and CPC to a professional career spanning COBOL on AS/400, Visual Basic, .NET, C#, media frameworks, and modern web development. Juan recounts how he taught himself through magazines, photocopied books, and hands‑on tinkering, the challenges of moving from construction work to a COBOL role, and the constant need to learn new technologies. He then describes his passion for retro computing, the Z80 assembly scene, creating tutorials and a book on Spectrum programming, and the vibrant home‑brew community that still produces new games for legacy platforms. Throughout, he offers practical advice on the value of COBOL skills, the realities of legacy systems like AS/400 and DB2, and the importance of self‑directed learning.
