I have read similar things about payroll software. The thing about laws, regulations and payroll is: you do not get to adapt the rules to the software, the software has to implement everything exactly as prescribed. Even that one-off thing from 1977 that still influences a few pensions by a few cents a month.
- bongodongobob 2y agoI work for a company that employs ~5k people. There's an entire IT team just for payroll and it's bigger than Ops. When Elon says he and a handful of devs were going to fix the entirety of the Treasury dept on their own, they are either lying, or have no fucking idea what they're doing. Probably both.

You do not get to adapt the rules to the software. The government can look at the state of the rules, say "this rule is obsolete, inefficient or unnecessarily complicated" and enact a different rule. They rarely do this, which is why having someone go through and make the attempt is potentially valuable.
