Why 150 years olds are still getting social security benefits - Lemmy.World

Yeah that’s not the defense you think it is.
Could you elaborate on why?
You shouldn’t be using cobol in 2025

so the huge legacy codebase should be ported to…

and who’s gonna do that? You?

This hasn’t been done because no one can do it. It’s because the government sucks at this stuff
I guarantee you that there are no governments, banks, or businesses older than 15 years that aren’t running some old ass code that’s not getting replaced any time soon.
Again that doesn’t make it ok

Code is not a physical thing that spoils with age.

All that backs that sentence of yours is your uninformed opinion.
