- EdwardDiego 3y agoInteresting read. Having worked in the public sector, I know how averse to building in house tech teams they can be, and that the budget, despite popular perception, is always tight. So very much well done to the author for the decisions made within tight organisational constraints. As a consumer of uses that site for text and audio on a regular basis for years, it's always been rock solid, kudos.
- gnz11 3y ago> I know how averse to building in house tech teams they can be Depends on the leadership really. Non-technical people, high up the food chain, trying to make technical decisions are easy pickings for commercial, proprietary software sale people. The promise is always that the commercial vendor will take care of everything and the public sector executive need not worry about a thing. Other times you get technical leadership that can generally see through the bullshit.
- tmnvix 3y agoI came across the elderly father of an old childhood friend a few months ago. He has been blind his whole life. While talking with him he asked what I was doing with myself and I told him that I was a programmer. He mentioned that the internet has been a wonderful thing for him and that he used it regularly (the last time I saw him it wasn't really available to the public). I took the opportunity to ask if he could give me an example of website that he finds easily accessible. He told me the Radio New Zealand site. Kudos!
- jgalt212 3y ago> The suggested upgrade required over 100 cores of CPU, and this triggered a deeper philosophical review into our long-term needs. 100 cores for a CMS system? Was every person in NZ on this site all day long?
