      Federal, state, and local governments need software, too, and they’re broadly incompetent at getting it written. A lot of peoples’ lives would get better, across many dimensions, if that were not true. Probably the simplest way is to just compete against the contracting shops.

      Already in progress. It’s really what’s being bought, not what’s being sold.

      It would help if the federal govt offered to create a single standard and even helped local state govts with grants to pay for more modern software on that standard.

      Right now, if you have to sell city by city or state by state and their RFPs are wildly different and specific, it’s just like — you can’t fund a scalable business with that or attract good talent.

          I mean I would take what you are saying and “yes and” it to say the more fundamental intervention here is governments at all levels need to recognize that they don’t need custom bespoke software for 85% of the things they use that for now.

          A big problem here is that Large systems integrators cell false certainty and candidly almost fraudulent levels of promises that they inevitably cannot deliver but it is hard to make a case against someone promising the heavens.
