Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...

I bet the constraint here isn't what's serving the website but either an external dependency that they don't have control over so that can't scale or a relational database that they didn't have the budget or expertise to scale

Edit: or just that humans have to actually look at it and you're waiting to talk to one

My local government does it all async to avoid that issue

yeah yeah yeah but how can we get the rage about sensible and rational issues like that???

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago

that's not a rational issue though. the correct way would be to make the process asynchronous.

No thanks, I prefer my internet experience to be linear and iterative with no fail backs for any exceptions. C'mon dead process without an error report!

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Zombocom is pure internet

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

A queue to see the website does make the process asynchronous.

Want to see this website? We’ll let you know

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

Ah sorry, I wasn't clear - I meant the way the issues were sensibly and rationally outlined!

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

If it were the US, I'd guess the constraint was political meddling by somebody who wants everyone to hate the agency so they have an excuse to privatize it, but I don't know if Ireland has that kind of problem.
