SF obtained the permitting system OpenGov in a no-bid process. It cost $5.9M

Now the city wants to lock it in until 2031, for $33M more

Workers say OpenGov is janky and can only do rudimentary tasks. They are still using the archaic system it was meant to replace.

One of the absolute best ways you can show prospective candidates that your company's completely out of touch with the modern world is to require developers to possess 4+ year degrees.

Few other things provide such an immediate glimpse of the hopelessly archaic inner workings of your organization.
