The true sign of a junior developer is they want to rewrite what they don’t understand instead of actually understanding why the system is the way it is or how it works
What am I saying, they aren’t going to rewrite it, they’re going to have AI do it 🙄
Has AI even been trained on COBOL?
Vibe coding all the way
That’s what I’m assuming they will try first, because of course this set of teenagers would probably do that.
More insights from people that actually know a thing or two (not s00perl33t teenagers, obviously):
It’s a sneaky way to shut down social security. Everyone in Doge knows it will break the system. Really break it. And that is bad, of course ( there is a but here)
But I think it’s brilliant to do it this way because 95% of the people reading the news do not see the ramifications. And will not see it later, they will know it’s gone but how? Why? It’s so complicated!
The American public is really gullible, and this gives enough political cover to avoid the oft stated “gone too far” mantra about disabling social security.
Bad people can have good plans to do wicked stuff
