So you are advocating to add: billions of tax dollars wasted on terrible software projects with incompetent management to the above list?
- Avshalom 10y agoWell we are already having billions of our dollars wasted on terrible software projects with incompetent management, it's just that it's baked into the price of goods instead of taxes.
- openfuture 10y agoThe way I see it there is a bunch of people already doing the governments job, making free software, just give them the money. It's not a waste and it's easy to spot a terrible software project when all the development happens in the open vs. behind closed doors at DARPA or wherever.
- alphapapa 10y agoYou want the government deciding which software projects get funded? Which inevitably means that the government will decide how software projects get run? Really?
