Its not the idea that Australians mistrust - its the implementation. No great technical project in the last couple decades has been successful.
Under the current government we have the broken NBN, the fractured MyGov that has been repeatedly hacked, the falling over census website, other broken health care systems.
We can't trust that they can build it safely.
- chopin 8y agoYou should mistrust the idea as well. Scope creep is a thing.
- auslander 8y agoAgree. AU Gov is failing in same way any big corporation fails. There is that strange notion that Managers know better than Engineers and can make technical Decisions. Good engineers, who love coding, can design a big system, are unlikely to rule over the Design. It'll be bad engineers, now Managers, with good political skills, that got promoted because its their only way to survive, being otherwise useless. It is totally upside-down, hence the mess.
- auslander 8y agoIf any AU Gov hot shot is here, I'll fix your mess, I'm good at it, did it few times before, drop a line at ausland@protonmail.com, I'll try to vet you :)) It will be AWS, no nonsense like kubernetes, possibly a dash of OpenBSD for public layer, least privilege IAM, Cloudformation everywhere. Solid. :) Open Sourcing it is an option too.
