Im gonna side with Elon here, in the fact COBOL is absolutely outdated and should be phased out. However, considering what they said in the post and how it went with his takeover of Twitter, I have doubts that he will be capable of executing it correctly. Move fast and break things simply shouldn't apply in the government sphere.

A sad fact about programming projects is that you can and have to lie about how long it'll take or cost because nobody will ever accept the truth about those things.

Craziness aside, what would be a good language to redo a critical system like this in?

Lots of hype around rust lately, but not sure if that's appropriate?

Why would Elon hate his mother? She kept him from being beaten up by that facebook guy.

I want to thank @Loduz_247@plemmy.world for finding the one BlueSky post that isn't schadenfreude the dark realities that Nazis did when they genocided the disabled.

It was so grotesque, I almost broke protocol.

Whatever you do, DO NOT READ QUOTE REPLIES & REPLIES TO THIS ON BLUESKY.

What you can do, is warn people on social security what will repeat historically, and defend the vulnerable. I will continue communications happening until I too get abducted.
