Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is planning to migrate the Social Security Administration’s computer systems from the COBOL programming language to something more modern, according to a new report from Wired. And while it’s not yet clear what Musk’s band of dipshits plans to do exactly, Wired reports they aim to do it within “a few months,” a laughably audacious timeline for such a task.

Everything from the code that issues Social Security numbers to the payment schedules are written in COBOL,... but the DOGE team seems to believe it can make a snap transition with the help of artificial intelligence...
...
More than 65 million Americans receive Social Security benefits, and any hiccups would be devastating for people who rely on the program to stay alive.

Having written code for a living, I say this is BS. You not only have to know how to code, you have to know the application, e.g. how the system works and all the if, then else's.

Sort of like the current administration's edict to end "end duty-free entry for cheap Chinese goods entering the U.S., his administration put the order on hold after more than a million packages piled up at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport."

You have to know how things work.
