This is terrible. Thanks to all of you for your years of service. I hope you all land on your feet. Elon and his band of basement dwellers should all rot in hell.
There weren't a lot of military veterans at 18F, but we did have a few over the years including me. Along with people living all over the country, which I think is key to building good teams and products.
I’m willing to say having *you* was key. I lost count of how many times I heard, “Be patient, it’s on Ron’s radar…” and good outcomes rolled out. Myself and so many others appreciated the ‘hard to see from outside’ efforts.
I kind of like the @mcuban.bsky.social idea of creating an 18 F consulting company because you know they’re going to need that expertise again when everything inevitably goes sideways…

I have ideas on how to use the F.

Pretty damn heartbreaking.
