I was working for the NL government on COVID stuff and the only thing I can say is that it's a shame I'm under NDA. It changed my view of the tech industry and I feel silly for calling colleagues in the past out for what I consider inadequate practices. As all were far above the mean.
- gattilorenz 3y agoWeren’t CoronaCheck and CoronaMelder open source? I would have assumed plenty of people would audit them, but I don’t recall seeing any negative news (jokes on their availability aside)
- radicalbyte 3y agoYeah they're open source and they're great (I worked on both). We put a lot of effort into making them into excellent examples. My original post is referring to other things outside of the Ministry.. My role was deep and broad so I got to see a lot.
- YeBanKo 3y agoI am surprised there isn’t some law in NL that would allow you to expose it either to the public or maybe at least to MPs and not be bound by NDA.
- radicalbyte 3y agoOh our apps were fantastic - an awesome example of what happens when you have top tier technical management combined with skilled technical people. Only during the process you get exposure to a lot of other things (and a lot of that is not government).
- YeBanKo 3y agoIsn’t it almost, like, fiduciary duty to the public to disclose what is broken?
- weebull 3y agoPretty sure whistleblower protections would trump NDAs, but not in a public forum.
