I am not sure given my >1yr experience working in public health office in contact tracing and their SOPs whether I should help build and fix issues there, or run.
I am even unsure whether it is a lost cause or not. usage of #floss like #sormas is one thing, not actually developing it another. #cctg and #cwa are nice examples where a lot of leverage was achieved.
But:
We lack such a huge stack of stuff, and I am unsure whether it is similiar to #accessibility a lost cause
we need people fighting and fixing #a11y issues, but name me one person that says "yes, that is fullfilling" more often than getting a fit banging at the wall for this stupid crap that gets shipped introducing regressions and people not careing.
We are in a lot of cases not improving, but keeping people busy. Busy fixing the same issues all over again, lobbying again to get noticed and wasting resources.
And this in a sad way applies to our health system as well.
And I am sure to 100s of other infrastructure projects as well, health is just visible right now.
Really not the best of possible moods trying to write a grant proposal with a deadline in that sector.
…might work for coffee…
