Personally I would be delighted if the government hired (as in permanent, not by the hour) top-notch tech engineers to maintain their IT infra. It would most likely cut down IT costs enormously while at the same time making things running a lot smoother ...
- bmelton 15y agoGovernment work would just infuriate any top-notch engineers by moving too slow. Simple changes move slowly, and hard changes take forever. Naturally, it isn't a limitation of the equipment, but the bureaucracy in place. I've been involved with projects where, after having already spent money on hardware and software procurement and over 3 months worth of man hours on actual implementation, the project stopped because a DNS change request form was filled out incorrectly. Correcting the form and getting it reapproved took four weeks to correct what was literally a one character correction.
