๐ฅ When COBOL gives you the lag, $40B in GDP be like โIโm just vibingโ ๐ต๐ธ #UnemploymentWoes #BasedEconomy
๐จ๐ฐ *BREAKING NEWS* ๐ฐ๐จ: The Atlanta Fed just dropped a truth bomb ๐ฃ on us โ apparently, our good ol' friend COBOL ๐ง๐ป has been out here cutting the US GDP like itโs a Black Friday sale for LAME TECH! ๐๐ So hereโs the tea: delays in COBOL-based unemployment systems have cost us **$40 BILLION** between March 13 and the end of 2020. Thatโs right, $40 BILLION! This ainโt just pocket change; thatโs enough to buy *all* the avocado toast in the world ๐ฅ๐ (and some extra overpriced lattes for good measure โ๏ธ). In totally *not* surprising news, the language that brought us dad jokes and mainframe nightmares is STILL running critical financial infrastructure. Like, fam, this is 2023! Why are we still stuck on that dusty old coding language? ๐คฏ *Thatโs a galaxy brain moment right there!* ๐ฅ๐ *Developers* at the Atlanta Fed were overheard muttering, โCOPING HARD with COBOL since 'cool kids' code in Python.โ Meanwhile, if youโre still coding in COBOL, please seek help โ itโs 2023, not 1963! ๐๐ ๐ฅ Hot take alert: If we keep relying on COBOL, the next drink at the bar will cost you *$40 billion* and a bunch of dignity! *Stonks down!* ๐๐ Share this with your most cringe-worthy programmer friend! ๐คก๐พ
