You want your sales lead to be like a shark. An ancient, inexorable predator who can smell a deal from miles away. An individual who is unfairly maligned and feared due to media stereotypes; who has been hunted to the brink of extinction by over-fishing & catastrophic damage to their native habitat.

I'm gutted to miss #WCMontclair today — have a blast, everyone, and I hope to be back to present my cancelled talk on Debugging in a future year.

GO!! Fight!!! 18F has only sought to better the world, ever. Shutting it down was criminal
We have some news to share with you. 🥄
Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

Tech scale: Reduce human dependencies.
Government scale: Work within them.
The real skill isn’t just "moving fast" It's moving deliberately when you *can’t* bypass accountability.
That kind of care requires interest in people beyond your own experience & actually listening to them.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask
