Verified as gov site.
- beanjuiceII 3y agoYa you can tell a govt site when it falls over from a finger flick
- eek2121 3y agoNah, the US govt is actually usually pretty good these days about solid infrastructure, website designs, security practices, etc. It is unknown why this particular website (if it ever existed?) got hugged to death, but much of the Government uses AWS govcloud and similar solutions.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoSeconded. At this particular point in my career “govcloud” sounds like a normal word. Our project has an overbuilt but robust cloud native architecture (even if I’m not a cloud services evangelist myself) that I think would surprise many folks in the private sector regarding its sophistication. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot of waste, inefficiency, and BS in government contracting. But some aspects of it are getting better. In our case, we were explicitly told by our “customer” to allocate more resources to scaling than we may in the private sector so that our application would not get hugged to death.
- edm0nd 3y agoFedRAMP vetted sites and vendors still get hacked too tho
- beanjuiceII 3y agoeh i disagree, I've been in govt IT for 16 years working as a group that supports all agencies. I would definitely not say "much of the Government uses aws govcloud and similar solutions" but thats just my experience
- abirch 3y agoYou know someone said that there will never be more than 100 requests per second in a meeting
- SushiHippie 3y agoNext meeting: "our page went down because of a hacker attack!!"

- morkalork 3y agoYup and you know what? That's exactly the kind of detail I don't need a government IT worker sweating over. They should just pay the premium to cloud providers and move on to more important things
- hamandcheese 3y agoI could not disagree more. Government already suffers a huge stigma of waste and overspending, no need to add to that stigma by overspending on checks notes a list of dad jokes. That's not to say I'm not glad this exists - I am! But I don't think it deserves a large budget.
- morkalork 3y agoJust toss the page into a pool that should be served to the public. No need to advance SOTA on a government budget to serve content.
