- ibejoeb 12y ago> Make it simple and intuitive Wish the back button worked. This whole section is comprised of good points, so it's a shame that this simple brochure site doesn't follow.

- revelation 12y agoMy playbook for the U.S. Digital Services: throw away the fucking playbook. You can already see them sitting in meetings for months discussing each bullet point on the playbook, getting nothing done.
- chrisan 12y agoYou do realize this wasnt created "by the government" but instead Mikey Dickerson who was poached from Google to fix healthcare.gov I think it would be worthwhile to read instead of "throw away the fucking playbook" site unseen
- Spooky23 12y agoCynical me thought the same thing. Lots of fodder here for IBM/Oracle/etc to spin from.
- TomDavey 12y agoI think that this sentence, from Play 8 "Choose a modern technology stack," could have far reaching significance: "In particular, digital services teams should consider using open source, cloud based, and commodity solutions across the technology stack, as these solutions have seen widespread adoption and support by the most successful private-sector consumer and enterprise software technology companies." Note "open source." I doubt that companies like Microsoft and Oracle are very pleased to be reading this directive. If the directive is taken seriously by government agencies, especially by DoD, the benefits could be very large, I daresay even transformational for the open-source ecosystem and the companies built upon it.
