Whenever I feel like I’m in over my head at work, I remember that somehow I know more than this jackass
Whoa, WAIT ONE DANG MINUTE: Are you telling me- Is it your assertion- Do you mean to say that Elon Musk is not the genius he claims to be?!
I’m going to need a minute to square with this new information
I do not think they even teach COBOL anymore, so if this is true the youngsters probably have zero clue what the code looks like.
That DEI tho
I know COBOL and am laughing so hard right now. Wait until they encounter JCL and CICS using IDMS databases. 🤯
I’d like to point out that COBOL was invented by a woman, Grace Hopper. As women’s achievements are being fucking scrubbed as fast as possible from history by low talent slugs.
When the boss doesn’t know how to do a job, do you honestly think that his ego will allow him to surround himself with people who do know! All his young brilliant minds are brown nose jobs who only now the words “green, super green, emerald green”.
Lol, the miniseries is going to be so unbelievable stupid looking in 20 years so people won’t believe it is true. Having a president go in front of the press with a weather map where he drawed on it with a sharpie so it included Alabama because he mixed up Bahames for Alabama and then doubled down…with a sharpie.
Gonna be hilarious…and sad.
I’m a retired COBOL dinosaur and find this very funny and satisfying!!!
Do you mean to tell me a group of gamer bros might not know something?!?!
But Elon vouched for their genius!!! *ELON*!!!
Elon brought us such wonders as the Cybertruck, rockets that are re-usable if they can ever stop getting them to explode, cars that “self drive” into concrete medians and run over pedestrians, and brain chips to torture monkeys with!!!
How could *that man* be wrong about anything?!?
There’s never been a better argument against the notion of meritocracy being real than Leon.
I didn’t believe it when my dad texted me about this two days ago. How odd.
None of the MAGA halfwits will ever read this, not that these illiterate dunces would understand a word of it anyway.
“Concerning” as one would say.
Super Genius… 😛
This is not correct. ISO 8601 does not use an Epoch and is a string format, not a number
So far the only proof of rampant fraud I have seen are the constant lies this administration is saying about there being tons of fraud. Self fulfilling prophecy.
I know more COBOL than these DOGE kids. Everyone who has ever done any auditing knows that you verify what you think you’re seeing before opening your mouth. Unless you want to look stupid, that is. Omfg
OP here is probably repeating something he heard from someone who actually understands it, but what he’s saying makes no sense.
ISO 8601 is a standard for expressing dates as strings, in formats like “2025-02-14 10:11.” It has nothing to do with storing times as numbers containing a time offset from an epoch.
Also, while it’s *possible* that this particular system chose to use 1875 as an epoch, that’s not some standard thing built into COBOL. And certainly this is not a “metre standard,” either figuratively (in the sense of a standard set by a governing body that everyone uses) or literally (as far as I can tell, nobody has ever referred to this as a “metre standard” or “meter standard” prior to this tweet.)
So this is likely someone recapping an explanation he kinda sorta understood.
(Also, there’s nothing ridiculous on its face about people potentially getting some sort of benefits associated to someone who was born 150+ years ago. There’s a known case where a 20-year old woman married a 93-year-old Civil War veteran. She would have been eligible to receive his pension benefits for the next 80 years until her death at age 101 a few years ago, although in her case she apparently didn’t actually file for them.)
There are 150 people over 150 years old who take 150 dollars every 150 days.
Holy shit, this is unbelievably hilarious on the one hand, leadership of the master race and a bunch of their lackies, brimming with confidence and unstoppable in executing their ambitious plan of instigating their technofuedal system, a plan constructed on pure merit, by the pinnacle of men who think outside the box, including the smartest man in the world,
are stopped, dead in their tracks because, not one among them has any idea how the system actually works. A bit of software developed by a woman.
Well, well well.
eLOn iS a ProgRaMmINg geNiUs!
LOL he’s obviously got the best and brightest there. This is just embarrassing.
“Big Balls” has problems doing what Elon told him to do…amazing!
People that voted for him won’t care, believe it, or understand it.
We need to find a way to get them to see reality, none of this has worked so far and we’re in the situation that we are.
Any new ideas? I can’t come up with anything.
They’re going to delete the entire SS database, aren’t they?
DOGE bros are Gen Z born after Y2K. Clueless about the worldwide IT efforts to patch legacy systems to ensure they worked Jan 1, 2000 🤦
These dumb fuckers couldn’t even properly “audit” a local Walmart or AutoZone.
My wife (older, Chinese) says this really reminds her of what happened during the Cultural Revolution when they got rid of experts (like doctors or other technically proficient people) and replaced them with young ideologues and everything fell apart.
Bruh we only know JavaScript and Rust
There is so much COBOL out there, especially in legacy systems that deal in financial transactions.
Necessary qualifications:
1. Email and online callsign must contain an X, and either the numbers 420 or 69.
2. You must not be a classically trained college graduate that’s part of the liberal elite swamp.
3. It’s preferred you have very rich parents who privately funded your breakout genius.
4. Musk show unwavering loyalty to the supreme leader.
This is your brain on drugs.
