Andrew Nacin: People Over Code

One response on “Andrew Nacin: People Over Code

  1. Michael Nelson

    Some enjoyable stories of government using old software, floppy disks, and fax machines. And good advice too about focusing on fixing problems instead of just focusing on software.
    “I’d rather have an imperfect piece of software that helps people than a perfect piece of software nobody uses.”
