I've spent my entire career working for commercial sector technology companies. I'm getting the itch to pivot to public interest technology.

It's something I've done on a volunteer basis for years. I think I'd like to make it my vocation. Any suggestions or leads welcome.

I'm genuinely confused as to why more US cities aren't choosing to use open source software for public data portals? CKAN (ckan.org/government ) seems so easy to deploy and maintain, but it looks like only the @CityOfBoston is using it: data.boston.gov/dataset

@DecaturNature I haven't read it yet, but it's become canon for the field of aka

If you're interested in learning more about the field, I'd recommend it as introductory text (solely based on positive reviews from peers in my social circles)

Plus, if it's 50% off - that's just a really good deal 😅

Kudos to @GovernorShapiro for announcing his customer service transformation strategy and establishing the Commonwealth Office of Digital Experience (CODE PA) to streamline the way Pennsylvanians interact with the Commonwealth online!

People have no idea how many government agencies have been like "we need a Dominos pizza tracker for people applying to this program"

The Domino's Pizza tracker has been the best piece of tech released for the past 10 years.

Great read on the role of consultancies and how they inhibit the design and improvement of public services from within.

Consultancies and outsourcers, Mazzucato argues, know less than they claim, cost more than they seem to, and — over the long term — prevent the public sector developing in-house capabilities.”

Still, PIF class of 2020 has the highest (I think?) ratio of staying in gov't I've seen of any class. Might be b/c of pandemic.

I’m on a women in tech group, suggested @USDS & @18F to folks who are looking for new roles in tech.

The biggest question: how much do these government roles pay?

Illuminate me, folks. What’s the range/bennies situation?

PS USDS: post salary range in FAQs!

I have officially switched over to publicinterest.town as my primary mastodon account! Feels good to be in a neighborhood that I'm a part of and helping to actively build - rather than just being a renter in someone else's megacomplex.

👋🏻 an overdue . I’m a designer and strategist currently working to improve government products and services. (A long, long time ago, I used to say “if only asking ‘why’ was a job…” turns out it is!) (1/x)
