And here I thought they'd actually consider my resume. They didn't even bother looking. When DOGE first called for people to apply, they did it on X and said we can send a message to their account on X.

So I actually got excited about tackling waste, and wrote this cover letter:

Little did I know this admin was going to be shutting down datasets from data.gov and other crap. I really tried to bring something positive into it, but it's just more of the same. They sidelined Vivek too.

You should have, had you done any research. This was long after Elon’s slide into anti-democratic, far right ideology. And as we now know merely weeks before he did multi Nazi salutes on stage.

This feels like people who are surprised that Trump is ticking boxes on Project 2025 despite it being out for multiple years.

There’s a pizza shop in NW DC with a basement you should investigate.

Well, it's refreshing that you're doing an "I told you so" about Musk, rather than getting on my case about my suggestion to use Blockchain to "increase public transparency and accountability", which is what I thought was more likely to happen on HN.

I think there are actually good use cases for blockchain and smart contracts, and DOGE was finally going to be one of them.

I didn’t think any of your suggestions were worth evaluating on their merits.
