According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what’s going on.

It’s going to be so expensive to fix all the damage this government is doing when America next has sensible government
So many skills lost, so many systems broken
Where did this come from? Is this a precursor to pushing some blockchain shit or something?
Tax dollars are definitely being stolen… by this unelected buffoon
Maybe Musk needs to learn about data normalization and natural keys
This dude called self driving a solved problem a decade ago too.
I’m curious what the actual data looks like.
I’m sure it will be available for purchase shortly.
I’d bet that the government is probably the largest user of SQL. Unless there are really old systems that predate SQL. I’d imagine they have shitloads of COBOL for example.
The more this dipshit talks about programming the more I’m convinced that he’s got absolutely no clue how any of it works. Like, he’s famous for creating PayPal, I’m really wondering if he paid someone to code that shit and just took credit (and all the money from its sale).
SSNs are literally just handed out to hospitals and social security offices in batches and given out in sequential order. They were specifically and intentionally designed to be a terrible system of ID numbers because people actually used to care about their privacy. There are countless people who’ve gone their whole lives using the wrong social security number and gotten their benefits just fine, because unlike everyone else in this dumpster fire of a country the social security office has never been stupid enough to rely on just a single number.
This sounds just like a former manager that thought nosql was the end all and that SQL had no place.
If course they developed their app that required frequent data migrations because they were in fact very dependent on all the records matching the latest schema.
Elon is basically what a dumb kid thinks smart people sound like
Replace “dumb kid” with half dozen of my boomer relatives, and you’re spot-on.
and the dumb kids, unfortunately. I did a spot with some non-US teenagers, in a class recently. The topic was “name a person you admire and why”. Guess whose filthy name came up…
What is that a database is not de-duplicated?
He definitely doesn’t know what deduplicated means…
This retard thinks the government doesn’t use SQL…
He sure is loose with that r-word…
“Your tax dollars are being stolen”
Rare moment of clarity from our global barony.
Right for the wrong reasons.
Someone needs to explain to Musk how to debug with the JSON so that the ipv6 GUI does not overflow into the git API front-end
