Thank you for the clear breakdown. I am passing along to everyone who may not have experience with FORTRAN and COBOL like I did. Many folks are only familiar with dirty operating systems.
Ive been around the coding block for years, so when I saw this, and the analysis attached, I immediately knew why they were (and wrongly so) reporting that 150 year olds were getting SSI benefits.
Only guys around my age understand COBOL. It was called a “Common Business Oriented Language” for a reason. It was meant for business processes just like Fortran was meant for formula handling.
The DOGE boys will make a real mess if they touch it and I really need my damn SS check. I hope we have good code backups somewhere.
My dad has been a long time Assembler developer, and when I talked with him about it, he echoed the same thing. Those newb DOGE boys who think Golang is the language of the future, cant comprehend what COBOL is for, much less how to interpret how it was written. Last I checked not even ChatGPT or OpenAI interprets it correctly.
I remember taking FORTRAN and COBOL. FORTRAN was a breeze. I had a terrible instructor for COBOL and struggled. I remember crashing the university's computer lab system one day. I wasn't the only student who did that, though. Betcha I'm still better than Musk.
Even if Musk weren't an infuriatingly arrogant, shit lipped ass-brain, he would still come out and spew some bullshit like his 150 year olds getting SS checks idiocy. Just like his oompa loompa looking lapdog Trump, Musk is fully aware that the millions of MAGA mental midgets will just believe whatever baseless nonsense dribbles from their face holes. In fact, I'm actually rather shocked that this specific claim was rooted in some semblance of reality at all, albeit stupidly misunderstood reality. Unfortunately, when these clowns eventually do recognize that all that fraud they've been promising to find, doesn't actually exist, they're gonna start just making shit up anyways. THAT is the sad and pathetic world in which we live...
When I took analytical chemistry in college, all of our exams were problems we had to calculate and solve, except the answer had to be written in FORTRAN!!! I got an A.
I'm a computer dummy, BUT DAMN I could feel that deep fry all the way where I am! JOB WELL DONE!!! Wow!

You cant make stupid like this just by default.

I had a similar experience as a physics undergraduate. It was ridiculous.
I thought the Geneva Convention outlawed torture?
so did I.
Apparently not….
That code looks vaguely like the code I used to support back in the “OLD” days!
