Apparently SSN uses this old shite and it defaulted to 1869 or some shite if no date of birth was entered. None of his code army knows Cobalt. Lol.

Could have hired me for that shite but I barely remember it as it was damn near 50 years ago.

Elon, listen to an OG, frick with SS and you will us a minority party for a decade or more. Look at that shite last

almost nobody learns Cobal anymore, which means there is some "security" built into the system via the incompatibility with normal teaching methods...kind of the same issue with Floppy disks still being used. It's not that the upgrade is not needed, it's just that it would be more expensive and open up the system to security issues not yet experienced because of the age of the coding system used.

That's pretty much the argument

However, if you can learn other coding languages at a fast clip (particularly C or C++ or FORTRAN) then you should be good with learning COBOL.

Seems like converting a Cobol system to C or newer is exactly why AI was created.

It’s COBOL. Use Google before you post.

yeah it can be done. But still takes human overseers to figure out if the code is compatible or not.

AI isn't end all for programming stuff just yet.

DOGE is auditing social security and found out there was an alarming amount of people over the age of 120 years old still receiving SS.

This is completely false and was started by some dude on twitter as a theory.

Came here to say this. Did learn it. It’s a stupid language but not hard. Pay me like Elon is paying his minions and I’ll be good at it in weeks.

He uses Cobalt once in the post, I’d give him a typo or autocorrect but twice? Nope, that just means, most likely, he knows not what he posts.
