An Executive Order that reorganizes and renames the United States Digital Service to Department of Government Efficiency.

Hm, almost ended up working at USDS a few years ago.

Wishing all US federal government employees all the best.

@stefan what a damned shame. USDS has been one of the modern agencies I’d admired.

@thzinc @stefan What, this is the successor to 18F?

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@fgbjr @thzinc I think they're separate? (Unless something changed recently.)

The difference between 18F and USDS

Two parallel efforts at modernizing the way government approaches technology are taking foothold in the Beltway: 18F and the U.S. Digital Service (USDS)

@stefan @thzinc Understood. Sorry for the distraction.

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@fgbjr No worries at all!

I had to look this up myself to make sure.

Really feel bad for folks working there. Imagine waking up one day, and bam, Elon Musk is your boss.
