A letter to the American People:
18f.org/

"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... he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic #technologists... He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work, and the value of the talent that the teams bring to #government"

Headline and text from article: Headline: We are dedicated to the American public. And we aren't done yet. Text: March 1, 2025 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.

Skilled technologists are being forced out of government

18F and USDS are gutted by DOGE
donmoynihan.substack.com/p/ski

"Musk is not just destroying core #government functions, he is also destroying the actual #tech capacity of govt. Because there are, in fact, skilled #technologists who work in govt. They are not enough of them, & they lacked power to make big changes. They worked mostly in the US Digital Service and 18F... And now they are mostly gone."

Text from article: Here is a thumbnail sketch of the two units: USDS offered support and guidance to agencies, but could not dictate a governmentwide approach on most issues. In times of crisis, or when a President prioritized a policy outcome dependent on digital innovations, it could play a more prominent role, serving as a de facto firefighter for digital governance. The General Services Administration set up its own digital consultancy team, 18F in 2014. This team’s mission is to work with agencies to “[transform] the way the federal government builds and buys digital services.” 18F was a cost recoverable office, meaning that they charge partner agencies for their work rather than being funded directly through a congressional appropriation. Both organizations use similar managerial technologies, which includes agile, iterative design, a user-centric approach, a reliance on data-driven decision making, directly managing relationships with vendors, favoring open-source solutions, the prioritization of platform models, and a flatter organizational culture. USDS and 18F represented a hopeful trend for American government: embedding serious tech skills inside the bureaucracy, rather than relying on private vendors. They care about public services, and represented the most visible public sector manifestation of “civic tech” in government. DOGE, by contrast, appears to be a temporary wrecking crew paving the way for aligned Silicon Valley vendors to fill the gap.

It reflects a sense of urgency among #antitrust enforcers that, w/o action, #SiliconValley giants will transplant their established #MarketDominance into the #NextGeneration of #technology, potentially stifling #innovation in futuristic fields such as #AI.

#Technologists say the arrival of advanced #generative AI signals an inflection point: a chance for new players rise to the top, or for the established victors to extend their lead.
