Wow, I have a special place in my heart for RAZR.But only if there is any decent money in it or if you find yourself out of work in this recession and are desperate enough.
"Will code COBOL for food", hope it doesnt come to that.
Blast from the past, from the Dot.com crash 18 years ago, who remembers Razorfish.

I too got interested in Programming with Z80 assembly..
HTML, JSP, Servlets and SQL databases between 2000 and 2007. Was horrible and depressing.
Since 2015 i have been doing Java desktop development again. Like it was 1998 all over again.
Beats Javascript and all the Web shite. Feel much better and get paid $200K a year to do it as well.

And SQL don't really count as a language mind to me, just got handed someone elses CRM system VB6 linked to SQL back end, the code using SQL to write every text box or retrieve is so damn long, 1170 pages if printed, nightmare.
$200K sounds nice aswell, have to move to London to get 1/2 that money in the UK then no where to ride my mountain bike so screw that.
Hope it pays well, cant you find something a bit more fun?
Think I'll knock the big program on the head, written by someone who was defo paid by the hour, not even a big system, seems to have everything written twice aswell, very strange.
Got work from old business partner back when we used to do Lean management all over the UK, fun times on the pull every night, rare we failed
Bored sales rep's, good times!haha, multiple frameworks in the same code base. You gotta love shitly done code. If everything was neat and tidy (and worked properly) there would be a lot less work for us to do.
All little procedures, makes it impossible to just read the damn code, read abit, go hunt the hidden procedure which has more hidden procedures arrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
