Procurement just puts an agency’s disfunction on display for public consumption, slapping on incoherent clauses mandated by IT in the process.

End result - the only ones that bid are the ones that consulted in building up the nonsense over the years. They weren’t talking to procurement. They were talking to an agency’s execs and/or IT departments about their latest “enterprise COTS” thing that’ll fix it.

Maybe instead of focusing on government's risk-averse culture, we should talk about how toxic its relationship to failure is. There's a deep-seated belief that failure is the worst possible thing that could happen, and maybe this is a root cause for so many behaviors.

NEW: I wrote about one of the greatest traitors the US has ever produced, a man who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Benedict Arnold: Robert E. Lee.

PSA If you're about to award your government IT contract to a company that calls their BizDev staff "Capture Managers", you're going to be disappointed for the next couple years/decades with them.

Its really quite hard to explain to someone who uses Teams internally all day with ease just how difficult it can be for an external person, with 8 different Teams logins, to "quickly jump on a call" with them.
It can take me up to an hour to just log in.

I was positive putting cameras on cell phones wouldn't work in the early 2000s. "Why would they do that? Seems dumb"

What is a technology prediction in which you had strong conviction that turned out to be wrong?

Confession: I don't know what you all are talking about when you say "Night Mode." Does my phone suck?

IV&V reinforces bad management of govt projects by shaming government folks that they would have gotten better results if they'd just planned harder and put more decisions in the hands of the higher-ups. If you know what this means I salute you for being in the guts of govt.

Debating COTS with CIO types is the bane of my existence. This thread is on point.
