“Ordered” to fix new website?
This a load of shit. The Bureau of Meteorology’s new website is gorgeous and delightfully functional, and it was in public beta for months. Presumably nobody whose bra is now in a twist bothered their arse to check it out or provide feedback when they had the opportunity. That alone earns the teams involved my full empathy, and that of every other developer who knows the frustration.
The federal government has asked the Bureau of Meteorology to fix its new website
It’s not broken.
Environment Minister Murray Watt says the Bureau needs to:
…adjust the website’s settings as soon as possible
Adjust the website’s “settings”? Super helpful feedback for those you’re directing it at, Murray.
And “Northern Victorian agronomist Malcolm Taylor” sounds like a real fucking wild one:
…I would expect some resignation notices over it
Over a website? Jesus.
