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…

That’s just crazy. I think they need to increase their server budget.

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

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

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.

Nah I’m sure the Raspberry Pi sitting in a manager’s desk drawer is a totally sufficient server. His nephew that’s “good at the computers” even said so!
