IRS’s COBOL and data risks seem unfixable. They said the same thing about QuickBooks. At Intuit, only two people believed I could map its 10-million-line core, one of those became the CEO. I did — deterministically, and brought the org with me on that journey. A few years later, I refactored Cisco IOS for multicore threading — 30 million lines, two-week turnaround when the CTO was asking for 2-years. The same physics applies at Treasury scale: minimal change, maximum clarity, zero drama. Details and evidence in the comments ↓

Modernization fails when people try to replace complexity instead of mapping it. Once dependencies and side effects are observable, progress becomes arithmetic. That’s been my craft from Apple and Cisco to DHS—turning legacy into leverage, quietly, whether advising or securing systems as a vendor.

@SebastienBubeck huh? a grid of tessellated equilateral triangles beats a tessellated square grid every day of the week -- 6 connections per vertex instead of 4. much higher areal density

@TKSaville "can you bear agency?" is also a fertility test. The passive choose the rig over the crib and decline to forward their wiring — a voluntary genocide (the joke is intentional). The citizenship bar self-administers.

@TKSaville its ok for all of the hedonistic VR seekers to stop reproducing -- its a generational genocide that depopulates the planet voluntarily.

@TKSaville I argue that the definition is insufficient for AGI.
