I rant about this and more in my latest podcast

The first book will be Kill It With Fire:
Manage Aging Computer Systems (and Future Proof Modern Ones)
This book has been on my TBR list for like 3 years now, and is pretty popular in the civic tech community. Check it out! I’m starting Chapter 1 today 😁
