Ask HN: The role of software development in WW3?

3 points by Memosyne ↗ HN
I was just wondering: if in the unlikely event WW3 occurred would good software developers be conscripted to work on military software? Or is the military already amply staffed with qualified personnel? Would FAANG data centers or employees be targets in a total war?

The modern military does have some technologists. But they seem to rely heavily on contractors for software development.
