The Mamdami administration is hiring a Public Interest Technology crew to make NYC city services not suck.
Preferred qualifications for software engineers include:
"Hands-on experience integrating with legacy systems, such as mainframes, FTP-based data feeds, undocumented APIs, or workflows that begin as PDFs and spreadsheets."
This crew will have a lot of work to do. 👀

When this bubble pops, I fear the worst long term consequences of it will be on today's generation of children whose education it interfered with.
