Getting spectators to a World Cup match is easy. Getting them out is the hard part - and seeing exactly where downtown Atlanta backs up is how agencies like @GADeptofTrans get ahead of it for the next game. @CityofAtlanta @FWC26Atlanta

@readswithravi Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it.

@george__mack I've always admired @richardbranson's passion for everything he does, whether it succeeds or fails, he seems like he loves it all the same.

@elonmusk Also, unlike a commercial company a government department/program gets no tangible benefit if they increase their efficiency or the quality of their output. They can't get more revenue even if customers/taxpayers are willing to pay more for the improved service.

The worst thing to happen to the traffic management industry was the movie The Italian Job. It conned an entire generation into believing that traffic lights actually work like this👇. Here’s the reality🧵

Our roads don’t need more concrete.
They don’t need more hardware.
They don’t need more sensors.
They just need code.

Those 50 hours of manual work? Now done in seconds.
That $2bn to retime all the signals? Can be done for less than 1/5th that cost.
Those delays? Cut by up to 30%.
That’s more than 5 billion hours that can be given back to drivers across the country.

As a software founder who has worked extensively with federal, state, and local governments, this podcast hits so hard.

Going beyond the political discourse around @DOGE this is an incredibly articulate, objective breakdown of the broken incentive structures that are holding back software in important government sectors - from performance reviews, to hiring processes, to procurement to consultants.

Software is critical to the functioning of any organization in the modern era, this podcast really underscores the huge value add to society if we can get it right in government - and how many simple (but not necessarily easy) fixes can help us get there.

Great job @SamCorcos and @ChrisWillx!
