What are the most complex softwares that exist? I thought it were RDBMS like PostgreSQL, SQL Server or Oracle DB, but ChatGPT says it's operational systems like windows and linux.

OS probably would be pretty complex

Anything related to low level graphics or avionics are toocomplex4me. FUCK math

>What are the most complex softwares that exist? Ironically probably just some legacy corporate project that has no documentation and had generations of jeets adding onto it.

Simulators can get fucking complex, in particular if you don't follow the physics involved. You're like WTF and you're not going to discover fluid dynamics or nuclear interactions by yourself.

>>25513200 I think that's because it entails physics, but from a software engineering point of view(architecture, algorithms, concurrency, scalability, performance etc.) what is the most complex software?

>>25513188 Probably some old government system for processing welfare payments or the like

>>25513233 Highly-available, fault-tolerant distributed systems, like telephone switching systems.

>>25513240 >The development effort for 5ESS required five thousand employees, producing 100 million lines of system source code, mostly in the C language, with 100 million lines of header files and makefiles. Evolution of the system took place over 20 years, while three releases were often being developed simultaneously, each taking about three years to complete. The 5ESS was originally U.S.-only and the international sales resulted in a complete development system and team, in parallel to the U.S. version.

>>25513233 I don't know if those things necessarily entail "complex" except algorithms, I imagine compilers must be pretty complex in the literal sense. But what do I know.

>>25513156 If compile time is an indicator then this.

>>25513148 Maybe like systems for businesses? Like the stock market bots or like grids for companies?

Aside from that i'd say >SAP Btw i just found out my ban of a year was lifted. Thx for removing captcha cancer and ban

Good luck rewriting the shit that was written in the 70-80s using Cobol

>>25514284 How to become a Cobol programmer?
Bernd Wed, 26 Feb 2025 09:20:30 GMT No. 25514331 >>25514356
>>25514291 Cobol is actually a pretty stupid and unsophisticated programming language. What is probably the main challenge with cobol software is very poor development methodology, for example: - huge source code files, 500k lines - variables with meaningless names "vr45" - The practice of commenting source code was not invented back in the 80s, when the code was written - All variables in cobol are global :awesome:

AI systems. No one understands what those models mean or how they work. It's not just code with an obvious logic.
