    This hasn’t been done because no one can do it. It’s because the government sucks at this stuff

      It hasn’t been done because that’s a great works project that’s on a scale you’re woefully ignorant to (this is an assumption on my part based on what I can grok of you based on your comments here).

      I assure you there is a bevy of skilled developers who would love to modernize the systems they work on but the cost and level of effort is beyond what is politically viable.

      If you changed your perspective from “it’s awful and bad and always will be” to “it’s awful and bad and we can make it better, how can I help” things will improve for everyone.

        Mate, from reading the comments of this no-brains, he or she doesn’t even know how to program in a professional capacity, much less have even the slightest clue of the scope of such a project.

        That one is literally a mindless Trump/Elon fan wading into waters way, WAY, WAY beyond his depth.

      I guarantee you that there are no governments, banks, or businesses older than 15 years that aren’t running some old ass code that’s not getting replaced any time soon.

          Code is not a physical thing that spoils with age.

          All that backs that sentence of yours is your uninformed opinion.
