Comment on The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified
jdeath@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoyeah i work in tech (at a bank rn) and the mainframes are hilarious. a constant source of downtime, and insanely overpriced hardware to boot.
literally i can’t think of any downtime our services have had in the last six months that wasn’t caused by the mainframe’s downtime. this is dozens of cases.
but they will basically never be replaced. maybe in 100 years? ha

I worked in primary metals for a while, core business applications still ran on mainframes, they had a project to move some of them to SAP that apparently had the same timelines as nuclear fusion (perpetually x years away).
