So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!
and they want to do it ...
... in *a few months*
I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...
... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

Maybe what makes software dev so vulnerable to "AI" is that the industry's left the reliability goal wide open. Defect rates few other markets would stand for are already tolerated.
If software had to work in the same way microwave ovens have to work, nobody would let an LLM near production code.

TDD is a threat in The Desert. Programmers are asked to take responsibility for reliability. They know they will slow down in the short run & be blamed for it. They know they will not be given time, tools, or training. It's just more work & more potential negative consequences. #ForestAndDesert

I can’t tell you the amount of contempt real coders have for Musk’s stolen valor at pretending to be technical. His years (decades?) of pseudo-code revealing that he doesn’t actually know how software works are so offensive to genuinely talented developers that they’ve always hated him.
elon could fake being a business and technology genius forever and everyone would have thrown cash at him endlessly, but no, he had to pretend to be a poster and gamer tok and America was like hold up
Has to be rough for Elon to know that his popularity is inversely correlated with his public exposure. People thought this guy was a genius before he started posting in earnest
