> "In order to migrate all COBOL code into a more modern language within a few months, DOGE would likely need to employ some form of generative artificial intelligence to help translate the millions of lines of code, sources tell WIRED" This brings up an interesting question of maintainability. Would millions of lines of Java code generated by AI be more maintainable than the previous COBOL code? And if not, what is the point of this exercise? The arrogance of these guys is breathtaking.
