This is an interesting piece.  But while it notes the general issues it makes a big error placing government workers use of Signal and the people running the govt using Signal more or less on equal footing.  They're not.  Not at all. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/ 2...

Confirming what others have discussed or reported, 18F, the elite tech consultancy within TTS/GSA, was formally disbanded overnight.  There's a formal RIF, the legal system in which the government downsizes/layoff people.  I'm told it's 60 days on leave for all involved.

The US GSA eliminates 18F, a government tech consultancy that helps other agencies with their tech, including the IRS' Direct File, impacting about 90 employees

The General Services Administration deleted 18F, a government tech consultancy that helps other agencies with their technology, early Saturday morning.

2/ A key goal of 18F was to provide state of the art end user experience for usg websites.  So basically making sure public facing websites that the American people must use are super user friendly and effective.  In other words, something really important at many levels.

These are lies. I know for a fact that 18F has not been “deleted” whatever that means. Confirmed this today. They're all still on the job. Second, the program here is the one that allows you to file your taxes for free. So you don't have to pay Turbo Tax unless you want to.
