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???
that’s not a rational issue though. the correct way would be to make the process asynchronous.
Ah sorry, I wasn’t clear - I meant the way the issues were sensibly and rationally outlined!
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!
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.
