What? Reprogramming and transferring a database that has over 60 million lines of COBOL code to Java?
Why isn't Steve Davis -DOGE - telling the truth? It will take longer than a few weeks, unless you put the database out without production testing.

Guaranteed.
Any chance the text was written by LLM?
That said... migrating systems off old languages is a worthy goal, but that's a multi-year project.
I agree with you, it will take years if done properly.
I just can't imagine a human who knows what they're talking about describing COBOL like that.
Would he, or the people at DOGE be held responsible? Probably not. They'd f* it up and then claim it needs to be privatized so then hedge firms manage the money. No thank you.
Too bad these clowns don't bother with reality. And there is nothing wrong with COBOL - nothing at all.
Generally speaking, they were doing back in the late 80's and 90's to "prep for Y2K."
Fun fact, one of our largest clients (not in finance) was a supply chain (UPS) and their systems never failed.
Musk on the other runs a company that can not manage to figure out how to glue a bumper on a car. Facts don’t lie.
Never voted for him, and never will.
A program spec also needs to be written to establish exactly what is required.
But if they are planning on doing it in a matter of weeks then that will go by the wayside and they'll just wing it. Crazy
And should it be done separately to insure the new program runs seamlessly and all tests, production and love, are done? How long would it take?
elon needs that. whether the current functionality is disrupted in the interim is a lower order concern.
If so, that would be a disaster. And it would go past deadline, budget, and the people who need social security would be monumentally p*ssed!
It will take YEARS.
Your company is smart.
This is why large financial institutions had to stay put as new Fintech companies *began* on relational databases.
This is complete bullshit.
These people are absolute idiots.
I hire computer professionals, industry leaders, and a mainframe was something they rarely had issues with.
Also not sure why we're saying java is slow
It will never happen that fast if done correctly.
I know, I'm an IT person who DID this type of migration. It's not easy. Takes months just to plan. Java is not suited for this much data. That's why COBOL is still used.
I'm for migration, but build it first and understand it will take years, not weeks or months.
Musk is about to find out.
Trump will deny it's anything to do with him.
We need an edit facility!
I don't like to assume.
COBOL was secure due to the fact it was damn near like understanding Latin
Now, what could possibly go wrong?
