MyGov is shit, but what can you do when they're trying to make wildly different (and old) big gov systems interface. I'm surprised it works at all

>>112658

It also doesn't load half the time, and when it doesn't the window needs to be closed through task-manager.

I know, had to go in once and they directed me to their terminals. They all gave an offline error. In their actual office.

Whats the problem?>>112576

It concerns me that you guys think this is normal.

Basically, users are programmed to hit the big green button to save their work. So you go type in a new password, then hit the green button, and it DELETES YOUR ACCOUNT.

Fucking hell, this is like a bank putting guns next to their ATM.

Developer here. I've laid eyes on these kinds of projects before. Governments outsource them to companies who kick-start the project by outsourcing it to pajeets who don't know how to do UI who just find the closest existing "schematic" app online and just buy that for like $10 and adjust the code a bit. Schematic app selling sites exist for all lines of software and websites.

You want a clone of a government app? It exists. You want a clone of a popular website like Amazon? It exists. Little to no effort required to get it up and running.

That's all it is, and it's terrible. Once the project starts, they cut costs by never hiring someone to make things "look good", only cleaning up the code. Any government software that you use that actually looks "good" is because some poor soul is probably working there and is being heavily underpaid for their excessive skill-set. This is one of many current failings of a broken economy.

Rinse and repeat, charge the gubmint super duper big prices and you're rich.

We do that too, I just couldn't believe that no one in the entire chain of command saw the "account suicide button" and made the pajeets fix it.

I actually googled it and the project manager was a male for the website. KEK

so how many of you cunts have blown off your cennylink payments?

>literally called My Gov

>never works

you can't make this shit up

Don't think it's normal, but they won't do anything to fix their shit anyway. Just like their ATO-payment matching scheme, it isn't well put together. Or anything the government touches when it comes to techonological improvements/developments. As far as the majority of politicians, most of them being over 40, the internet and computers are still some 'new fangled tool that'll be forgotten next year', or at least that's how they insist upon treating it. Just look at the likes of the original NBN plan, what its PURPOSE was, and how it ended up.

it's part of a crackdown into mass fraud in the welfare system

maintaining a combined service database could shave a quarter off admin costs eventually

they will start forcing people to have an account, then they will start putting shadow accounts on the system till it holds everyone

>>112690

figures that you dole bludging plebs would be incapable of reading the text and instead just instinctively hit the first green button you see, maybe they should use shapes and colours instead?
