Shamelessly tagging off my own comment for another thought. Remember the articles about states' unemployment insurance systems at the height of the COVID19-inflicted unemployment in March?
They kept talking about hiring COBOL developers to address the current need. This next comment is intentionally vague--some federal government agencies offer frameworks for state governments to use in their own regulatory agencies. It's a shame we heard so little talk of that model in relation to state unemployment insurance systems at such an opportune moment. It's an unemployment insurance system--I cannot imagine there's too much creativity involved other than the clean integration of a business rules engine.
- Stratoscope 6y agoJust FYI for next time, there is a two hour edit window on HN comments, and no one minds if you update a comment with added thoughts. Either way, thank you for the interesting comment(s)! (At the risk of going too far afield, some feel that you should add an "EDIT:" note for any changes to a comment, but my personal feeling is that it's cool to simply edit without calling extra attention to the edit, especially when the edit doesn't significantly change the meaning.)
