if I was a funder or a technologist trying to do good, I would not launch a shadow 18f, that's just another private contractor that will be beholden to Trump's orders, I would instead backfill the left's digital infrastructure (Act Blue, Bonterra) which is under threat now

#exploreddd was work highlight of my year! Such an open, welcoming, and thoughtful community. That said, there was some controversy when Chris Lauer and @elizayer.bsky.social explained why we have 122 weather forecast offices. Turns out the earth’s surface curves, so radar only reaches so far!

Trying to “pick up” 2 bottles of hot sauce from Walmart in a bike REALLY confuses people.

Unions are not a panacea but they do matter. @bunkum.us is spot on re: the third wave of “civic tech” needs to be a labor movement (if anything)

Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a team of extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave.

Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision:

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
