Too many useless COBOL legacy devs in this thread fearing for their futures. Chill out gramps, you're retiring in a couple years anyway. Your egos shouldn't be this fragile, but that's what America gets for raising an entire generation or two of snowflakes post-WW2 I guess...
It's not worthless. It's worth fiat money, which is then used to actually purchase things. Like how beanie babies weren't worthless, as long as you sold them for fiat.
Lol how is this insightful. You don't throw away the beanie baby in front of the moron that would pay $20k for it, you take that idiot's USD, a thing that actually has value to others in the world and will give you things for it.
Unless the price is high, then they stay on and are charged more, and normal people can fuck off. Nice opening to an ancapistan hell state. I'll pass. Nationalize all utilities and housing.
Not sure what that even means, I came back to this place after like a decade away. I do have a couple "fans" that don't like my anti-auth, anti-wasteful military stance. I assume they were armchair warriors, so they still believe the fantasy we are "spreading freedom"
Buddy I am literally embedded in examining funding. About 55% of our budget is wasted on private contractors. F35 prime example of waste and grift in what little real world R/D we do. DOD has never passed an audit. Most of our cash flows otherwise are logistics and bombs. We should slash our defense budget in half.
Al qaeda! What a throwback! And a serious threat too, with all those planes flying into buildings and suicide bombers over here in BIDENSTAN! I wish we had a totally strong, totally not mentally retarded mid 70s reality show host that can't walk down ramps or stand up straight to save us.
I like how you're selling dense code as a feature, as if a block of code SHOULD look like a series of random numbers and letters jumbled together due to nondescript variable naming as a convention and with garbage-tier tab delineation, and with a side of dynamic typing just to make sure you'll spend 5x as long bug hunting in any real project you end up cursed to make with the shit.
