DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

    I’ve been party to dumping legacy systems and lift & shifts a few times.

    Good fucking luck.

    Knowing nothign about this, a project like this would take at least 2 years even if you are dropping a ton of use cases and dependencies.
