This is truly the Signs of automobiles

IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

I think all else can be achieved more efficiently by using a trusted third party write-only database, such as the ones available on AWS, and you’d also have the benefit of being able to go to court to seek relief. Some blockchain markets are basically reinventing banking systems and preexisting financial law - systems that have been built over centuries and have quite a bit of knowledge baked in.

I do like the shift to proof of stake from proof of work, but this tech is silly to me.

I think what may buoy them is the fact that you must append “Reddit” to searches, however, ChatGPT, DuckDuckGo, and Kagi are giving them a run for their money

I really hope this goes through, because the pile of dogshit they sold my municipal government can’t fairly be called code.

It’s astonishing. I will never ever deal with that company if I have the opportunity in the future because of how utterly incompetent they were creating a “microservices architecture” for us which is in effect a series of AWS Lambdas running random Python that do not coordinate, suffer from race conditions, and in many places do not do the thing in the first place.

It’s the second worst code I’ve ever seen. The first was home grown at another public sector job.

The cost for this shit that could have been replaced by a simple Flask app? Or even a well structured, in-lined Python script? $1.5 million. Ongoing costs in the hundreds of thousands per year.

This should be a $20-50/month EC2 instance.

Absolute garbage.

No, I am not underestimating the complexity requirements nor the communication overhead/competing stakeholder interests and all other manner of externalities.

Deloitte belongs in the dust heap.
