@andypiper @Edent it’s not on every blog post, it’s only on the top-most index page. Should it be present on every page?

@Edent Thanks for posting a reminder. https://slott56.github.io/2026-03-20_human_json.html

@danirabbit For decades we’ve worried about replacing COBOL because the code was often opaque; the underlying business rules transformed into a spaghetti bowl of logic paths exacerbated by the REDEFINES clauses making the data just as awful.

The folks that considered leaving COBOL in place as an acceptable technology choice will buy into vibe-code slop and proclaim (still) “it ain’t broke so there’s no need to fix it.”

@cstross Did he read Singularity Sky and feel he could make that future happen with more computers everywhere?
