This should surprise no one. The fake “doge” thing was run like a smash-and-grab more than anything serious.
Say, weren’t they going to rewrite all their systems in a matter of months? How is that going?
Don’t get me wrong, Second System effect and the usual attendant idiocy is rampant in the private sector but doing something like a massive rewrite from Cobol -> Java using AI, all while trying to chase off all the real talent that knows how it all works, and saying you’ll do it in “months”, for a public system that millions rely on for survival, seems like top-tier idiocy.
And that is saying a lot. The IT world is FILLED with arrogant douchebags who think they know it all and itch to do rewrites because “new tech”. And in this case, Java probably isn’t nearly “new” or “cool” enough to satisfy the next batch of teenage clueless dumbfucks given a license to do whatever they want by idiots with more ego than sense. “We have to rewrite all this in Zig because it’s what the Chadcoder says is nextgen on his Youtube channel!!!”
