This book has a lot of insight and advice for tech people who want to work with public administration. At times, it reads more like a lengthy blog post than an actual book, and a big portion of the information is obviously tailored to the US government. We definitely need a similar work (maybe an adapted translation?) in German!
Maybe it’s the obvious thing to say, but I wish this book had existed when I started my career in nonprofit technology. Maybe there wasn’t a lot here that was new to me, but there was a lot here that reinforced many lessons learned the hard way, and a lot that the next crop of nonprofit technologists can learn from. Highly recommended.
Cyd's guide is the most practical, empathetic, and optimistic view of the potential for technologists to join government and make a difference in the lives of others. If you've ever thought about going into government, or you were simply curious about how government works, how progress happens, and what it takes to make it happen - then you'll find this book an invaluable guide.
