I love that our government created GDS, they get a lot of flack but GDS has been an unmitigated success. They've got really great public performance dashboards

They've got really great public performance dashboards[1] as well, you can see how many people are using 'gov.uk' right now[2].
Edit: It's a bit disconcerting 'Give up (renounce) British citizenship or nationality' is the top trending content!

- timthorn 10y agoI think the National Audit Office would disagree about GDS being an unmitigated success: http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/2437392/defra-and-gds-slammed-for-ineffective-collaboration-for-gbp154m-cap-programme http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/2437392/defra-and-gds-sl...
- Spooky23 10y agoWe'll see in a few years if it's an unmitigated success. When mid level bureaucrats are getting significant facetime in the media, you should be very wary. Civil servants are supposed to toil in obscurity -- they exist to glorify King and country. When you see exceptions to that, there's often a real shitshow behind the scenes.
