#TDS2022 has started! And @sandra_sarav is kicking off the one-place-to-be about digital governance. "It is not just about decoupling, but also recoupling" - I'll steal that for my slides.

Many of the issues Ursula von der Leyen points out at #TDS2022 to make EU and partners stronger are very much aligned to good software and cybersecurity tech architectures. There are ways to build a better Europe by learning from tech failures of the past to build an even stronger EU.

“The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends” – Cicero quoted by Ursula von der Leyen at #TDS2022.

For the love of all that is good Paris Aéroport, please don't tell me to go to terminal 2B when in fact my gate is at Terminal 2D. Your airport is an example of a bad legacy software with an extra spice of outdated documentation.

A lot of debate recently about home office or getting back to physical - both sides have merit. BUT! If you hire to bring the organization a specific key result, as long as the goal has agreed metrics, it should not matter where this result is achieved. #debate #WorkFromAnywhere

Many of my most productive meetings are about solving problems that start with a hypothesis 'we need tech help', but are all actually related to business processes :) Conway's Law strikes again. #engineering #conway #digitalgovernment

Today I'm running our government engineering community event! I brought old series of books from 80s with me and on the pic is a legendary IT guru P. Raspel who designed the covers for those very books! This is what Estonian IT was before the internet: wisdom of those books!

Frederick Phillips Brooks Jr. - software architect, engineer and the legendary author of The Mythical Man Month - has passed away. A lot of his wisdom - written even before I was born - guides me to this day. #mythicalmanmonth

Today we're kicking off workshops for the evolution of our internationally known and innovative digital identity - fondly framed in what we call a "white book" - involving a strategic vision across all sectors. Ping me if you wish to know more or to be involved! #eID #Estonia

Never underestimate the importance of #cybersecurity! I am running a private website for a small circle of friends and following the logs my private site gets bombarded daily, attempting to detect versions of web based software. I keep updating to frequently - you should too.

We have made a new record in the amount of internet votes in our parliamentary elections in #Estonia! Final numbers are still not set in stone (3h still remaining) and count will also change tomorrow (as the citizen's last vote will count and tomorrow's the final election day).

Early signs show that for the first time in history, we have broken the 50% line of electronic internet based votes in parliamentary elections! This is a huge day for digital #Estonia and our voters who persistently expect the most important government services to be digital!

And we're off with the first keynote, William Entriken on stage at #NFTTallinn! Private sector is showing the way, but digital governments should pay attention as there is real value here - if #blockchain is used for the right problem (gov of Estonia has been doing it since 2008).

This is how innovation debates regulation and tech debates law, to find new ways forward. Estonian public sector, private sector, startups and international experts around the same table, debating crypto assets and the future. #blockchain #nft #cryptoassets #government #estonia

I have a bit of news to share! In October I will be relinquishing my position as a Gov CTO for #Estonia. Five years has been an absolutely fantastic opportunity to guide the Theseus ship of our digital government architecture. More details at the link. linkedin.com/posts/kristova…

And we have a kick-off in the largest public/private sector conference in Estonia! #teliadigitalhub

This is going a bit meta, but here's what AI thinks is happening on the photo about AI related a talk. To keep things short: if you have not tried modern AI systems yet, you should make it a priority to do so by latest tomorrow. #artificialintelligence #teliadigitalhub

I am working on a project that combines the vast knowledge of #AI with the curated expertise to create new kinds of value. I'll be announcing my plans soon + will be exploring investor interest. Sign up here: cupofcoffee.ai - it may become something significant ☕
