Hey asshole - it works - don’t fix it.
Bring back lotus notes and the command line!
When I started at my workplace a few years back, I had to login to lotus notes to obtain some sort of ID code. I’d never heard or seen the software before, but after opening it, I let out an audible “what the fuck is this shit”. Luckily they got rid of it completely a couple of years ago.
Gonna blow up the database as many times as they blow up SpaceX rockets.
Sooo only gonna blow up the test databases?
I wish them luck. I hope they can. Make a good system and that it works how they want it to. Failure is a no go
As long as Big Ballz is running things, I’m sure it will all be fine!

I’m less than a decade from taking my SS early. I have already downloaded my SS deduction tables from their website in anticipation of them doing something this stupid. “Oh… you think you are eligible for earned benefits? We can’t seem to locate your contribution history… so sorry for you.”
I’m on SSDI and VA disability. I can’t work. I’m terrified every time they even breath in the direction of either place. I’d be super fucked. Even losing SSDI would destroy us. That’s about 3/4 of our mortgage payment. So many other vets are in the same boat.
how do you do this? probably good for all of us to know

First you need to log into your social security account. If you have never done this is can be a bit cumbersome, but better to get it figured out now than later. Then once you have been able to log in to “my Social Security” you will see a “Your Social Security Statement” on that landing page. It will allow you do download a PDF that has your projected benefit and your earnings records by work year.
Oh no, he wants to “rebuild the stack” from the ground up again.
Months? I don’t k ow how to code, and even I know that’s impossible.
they will make chatGPT do it and then not verify.
They will cross-check with Grok.
Vibe Coding. I can’t see a way for this to go wrong…
Nope. it won’t go wrong. Do you know how I know? Because the faultless, ever-wonderful DOGE team is on it. They have never gone wrong. Ever.
oh, what about the 150 year old social security people? that simply never happened
Needless to say, /s
This is just another step down “I honestly just can’t comprehend the stupidity of what is going on in the American government”-alley…
Like… what do they even expect to come of this? Why are they even interested in doing it? Is it just to stir up shit?
They are trying to break the government beyond all repair. At that point they’ll say it’s the Democrats that broke it.
Their cult members will swallow the lie hook line and sinker, and continue to keep them in power. (Side note, this will be made easier by gutting all election oversight as part of the package.)
Meanwhile, all that money that used to go to Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare… basically any other program meant to help people, will flow into billionaire’s pockets.
Rewrite it in Rust has gone too far 😆
How this will go:
“Okay Grok. Convert this COBOL code into Python.”
“Certainly! Here you go.”
System crashes and exposes all Americans’ SSNs
“Fuckin’ DEI hires…!”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ow, my sides.
Russia just wants musks boy toys to cripple the only checks and balances putin thinks he has.
Putin loves this but I suspect he’s not directly planning every dumb thing the trump team is behind. Trying to get Musk and Trump to follow instructions is challenging
The first step towards privatizing an industry is eroding public confidence in the existing program. They have absolutely no intention of improving the program, they just want to make it shitty enough that people stop believing in it. Once that happens, 45 will start shilling, and some lucky company will swoop in and take it over.
Textbook…
Yep, this is it. Show how “broken” it is by breaking it, and enough of the population won’t even notice when it’s “fixed” and they’re only getting 2/3 of what they were before (and are entitled to). Plus grift, etc.
“…but sir, we only know Node.js…”
Musk would probably think that’s just fine.
Server-side javascript is an abomination, but there’s more of it around than you might think.
Node.js is a fantastic tool for web servers. Its event loop allows it to rival much lower-level languages in performance while remaining easy to write and maintain. JavaScript has been the most popular programming language for nearly a decade.
Well you need static types I assume, for code safety and all that.
Just no man.
Yes, JavaScript has been the most popular language but it is exclusively because of the front-end. Many companies do not want to pay for separate back-end devs and ask their front-end devs to do it instead. These people (ab)use JS because they’re most comfortable with it and are under crunch; so we end up with the abomination that is back-end JS.
It is NOT rivaling much lower-level languages; it can’t even rival C#.
First off, it is interpreted. You are never going to be faster than competently written C, C++, Go, nor Rust. Secondly, the resources it takes to exist makes in a non-option for embedded machines - which Social-Security facilities are all but guaranteed to use.
Not to mention the horrendous (and insecure) package infrastructure, and under-powered core libraries - it would be the fullest extent disaster.
The saddest part? The larpers at DOG(shit)E are all but guaranteed to pick the worst tools for the job, over-engineer, and have extremely poor management. Meaning whatever they ship WILL collaspe the system day 1; and all of the people refusing to pay attention will be like “hOw CouLd THis HaPPen”
That’s the idea. Then they say anyone who complains about not receiving benefits is a fraud.
