Whatever language is chosen will be regarded forever as worse than COBOL, regardless of its actual merits.

MODERATORS
My only thought here is that they have no idea how to scope things properly. Anyone who has done rewrites or large ETLs of systems knows that initial scoping is always usually wrong. -- my bet is they drag this out for the rest of the presidency where "done in months" is actually "we're still working on it". And maybe even after so Musk can suckle another government test.
Some of them are teenagers and the rest have the mental and emotional maturity of a teenager.
They have no clue what it takes for such a large project. Even Elon “self-driving by the end of 2014” Musk hasn’t a clue.
Except he has chainsaw mentality, not do it right mentality.
Busy few months coming up for Grok
it's a sick world where matthew perry isn't with us but elon still is.
Im gonna side with Elon here, in the fact COBOL is absolutely outdated and should be phased out.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.
Im gonna side with Elon here,
A broken clock is still right twice a day
he’s only right if he has a working alternative
you don’t remove anything until you do
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?
HTML of course :)
Why would it matter unless he was planning to harvest the data?
I want to thank @Loduz_[email protected] 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.
