They would be hard pressed to deal with the million+ lines of code related to the SSA systems. We both had an upbringing in the early days. I worked in COBOL and Pascal. My frustration was with so many operating systems (OS). Seems like I had to learn 10-15 over the years as each new computer type had their own OS, and we had to port the applications software from machine to machine. That became a full time job. I grew bored to death, maxed out salary wise, and turned to my English minor to venture into and grow in the field of Government proposal writing.
In school, computers consisted of 1 credii coursse, which was actually data processing using Fortran cards. I was lucky to pass.
I am, at best a dillitante. Never part of my job decrription. When I was in private practice, we had 2 computers, but the boards were ruined by lightning. I learned by necessity.
At first, when I worked for SSA I was not permitted to use the computers -- even for word processing. I took couses on my own dime.
My sister in law had a work relationshp with Paul Allen, who owned Asymetrix. .
I programmed "Social Security Tutor" 30 + years ago for SSA, which I'm told has been updated but still is in use.
What you despribe is probably data maipulation. I am dated, bujt in social sciences they used to program SAS, which is proprietary.
By now, AI should be able to handle it, and humans are probably obsolite.
