Open Government Products (under GovTech)

- main value proposition is that they can bypass aforementioned standards
- spends 1/12 of the year on "hackathons" churning out semi-useless vanity projects
- even after said hackathons, most useful products are still google forms, bitly and jekyll clones. so innovative.
- shuns anything touching the wog intranet , which is where > 95% of public officers pain points reside. and can still claim that they "listen" and "build for the user".
- is staffed disproportionately by psc scholars but claim they they are inclusive etc.
- only exists because of a certain someone with a certain relation

you're the not the only one who can see, but really is it worth your time and energy to be jealous about them?

sometimes relieving a customer's pain point is sometimes not about a million dollar project, but a software configuration one liner. but this truth is buried behind politics and people's kpi. you really feel like helping people who are screaming in pain for help yet keep on dropping hammers on their foot? hai.

why not use the energy to do stealth side hustle? in the private sector got so many pain points, surely you can figure out a way to monetize them?
