In 2045, when this has become well-documented history, that you read it here first, from a merely semi-old programmer, who does not know COBOL herself, but who had led a Y2K preparedness tiger team at a stats software company in 1998-99.

15 years later the whole system is scrapped, but this whole time, an old COBOL guy has been quietly running a patched version with a compiler he threw together on a Cray from a dump. Alt Doge kept HHS running all these years despite a succession of presidents trying to kill it.

Good luck with that. It would take a few years for some young buck to learn COBOL, more to read the code and write a spec, and a decade for disaffected coders to do a shitty job of implementing the shitty requirements by the shitty python hack who misunderstood the original COBOL.

 A former colleague recently commented to me, “I thought of you this morning when I saw the latest story about DOGE efficiency… they think they can replace the Social Security COBOL database in a matter of weeks.”

This one went a lot better for me but other than green I was mostly flailing.
Reminder: don’t answer your door. Don’t let anyone into your home without a search warrant signed by a judge. You DO NOT know ANYTHING about your neighbors, their legal status, country of origin, where they work, or what school their children attend. DO NOT BE “HELPFUL” to ICE.

Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked.
