My workplace is drunk on slop. slop emails, slop documentation, slop reports id be laughing if it wasnt so fucking depressing given we're very government involved and public services should be the most stable resilient systems in the country.

Saying gov was slow to move to the cloud is so fucking triggering. They moved to the cloud at massive cost increase and at the end of the day its still government owned hardware in government owned sections of the data center so why the fuck doesnt the government just own it and put it in their own datacenter. They've already got the IT department to manage it.

The government needs to prioritize moving away from IT systems reliance that is not NZ based.

Software/hardware need to be NZ based and NZ owned. All systems should be FOSS; and only allow non-FOSS where a very good reason exists.
