I worked on RFP(request for proposal) for redoing the IRS’s legacy code. They have millions of lines of mainframe assembly, and nobody knows the language. I’m retired now and am among the last people who were trained in the language.
A decent assembly programmer needs 5+ years of experience to be working on such code.
Didn’t we pass a bill a year or so ago that was partly designed to specifically modernize their aging infrastructure?
calm down IRS, just give us your nukes and we promise we wont invade you.
