I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

Before I was fired tonight, I was in charge of information security for VA.gov, which has millions of users per month and stores and processes huge amounts of veterans' personal information. I've been told by people I've worked with that I'm the best at what I do of anyone they've ever worked with. Now there will be _no one_ in charge of information security for VA.gov.
Does this seem like improving government efficiency?

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

During the night, a Russian drone carrying a high-explosive warhead struck the protective sarcophagus covering Reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Fortunately, radiation levels inside and outside the facility remain normal and stable, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The sarcophagus was originally constructed to contain radioactive contamination following the catastrophic 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

Scientists say AI has crossed a critical 'red line' after demonstrating how two popular large language models could clone themselves.
