Public Money, Public Code
The state I lived in developed one of those covid tracking apps. I asked for the source code and was told it wasn't available and would never be. I talked to people working on other software developed for the state and they all think that software shouldn't be public.<p>It seems crazy to me that taxpayers pay for this software but it doesn't belong to them.<p>Knowing what I do know I gotta wonder if it's just about those developers being ashamed how bad their software is and don't want others to see it.
