Some people should not be allowed anywhere near networked computers. Just participated in some EU research project kick-off meeting…

I mentally crossed that threshold where I think, that every publicly funded project by law should be enforced to have at least one hire with 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕔𝕖𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤¹ on the payroll with the sole role of managing the IT stuff.

¹: I don't care that having the certs doesn't mean, they're actually competent. I'd be perfectly contempt with some checklist checking button pusher who at least memorized by rote some "best practices" and does a 40% job. That'd still be better, than current affairs.

@datenwolf wouldn’t it suffice (or be better) to require Universities to have enough permanent IT staff who will support projects?

And to require them to sign-off the IT plans of any project?
