Stickers! I make stickers, and I’d like to send you some for free!

Yup! These are mine!

Also very fitting since they were originally created as a reaction to a lot of the Silicon Valley ethos I saw coming out of the early USDS work while I was serving with them, and we're seeing again with this latest incarnation.

A letter to the American People:

For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving you to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.

However, all employees at 18F – a group that the Trump Administration GSA Technology Transformation Services Director called "the gold standard" of civic tech – were terminated today at midnight ET.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.

When former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd took the position of TTS director and met with TTS including 18F on February 3, 2025, he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic technologists and that “you guys have been doing this far longer than I’ve been even aware that your group exists.” He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work, and the value of the talent that the teams bring to government.

Despite that skill and knowledge, at midnight ET on March 1, the entirety of 18F received notice that our positions had been eliminated.

Hey, somebody registered 18F.org. It has "A letter to the American people." 18f.org

Equally likely that leadership is unaware that most standard linux tools have filthy-sounding names.

I'm sure you already know this but they're literally about to have a strike in a few days due to not paying their staff fair wages and giving them adequate leave.
