If you can understand the difference in competence between "A five-star Airforce general with 20 years of service," and "Someone that used to work on Fox news and can't pass a security clearance or meet basic qualifications" Then you understand the difference in competence between USDS and DOGE. - ThreadSky

Their talk of rewriting all the COBOL code makes me feel like I’m in the Austin Powers steamroller scene.

The lasting damage these clowns are doing to tech hurts too. A field that, for all its faults, is populated by very smart people and donates (and votes) more progressively than the rest of the country by a long shot, reduced to being viewed as idiot lunatics who dismantle the government.

My neighbor works on google search and oversees the successful run of thousands of experiments every day, keeping critical digital infrastructure moving along. And then he donates his spare time to helping syrians get into tech. The average american will view him as equivalent to a doge boy.

Anyways I know it's a small thing compared to the literal attempt to dismantle social security, but it hurts even more to see such evil and know that you're going to be viewed in the same light by the time it's all over

i'm definitely having a lot of "they don't even go here" and "we don't claim them" feelings, to put it lightly

hurting our credibility industry-wide and for what? extracting even more wealth? if it weren't so needlessly destructive and cruel to people who depend on these systems, it'd be pathetic

The culture of a high performing SRE team is antithetical to fascism.

"Who can we blame!" vs "Blameless post-mortems"

"What code did you write today!" vs "OK maybe lets write less code. Delete some even."

"Supreme Leader is always right!" vs "Facts and data are immune to your title and level."
