“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

On top of everything else at NOAA, NWS had an agreement with 18F for the modernization/redesign of weather.gov which was well underway. Literal man-years of effort just lit on fire, probably DOA now.

"Government efficiency" my ass. This is retribution on agencies that refused to bend the knee.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
We're not done yet | 18F
