On: The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE

"This decript junk" includes institutional knowledge that will take decades to reconstruct, USAID agents suddenly cut off from all official communication and equipment in the middle of war zones, and basic security guarantees about the payments system used by the US Treasury.

The useful parts will be preserved but with new people. How can you trust any of the previous regimes managers?

All I had to do was look at this regime.

I agree that there is a lot of junk going on in the US government, but Elon Musk is close to the last person I'd trust to do a good, unbiased job cleaning that up.

Especially without oversight or any kind of accountability. Especially when he's flaunting federal law to do so.

Honestly he’s using a gentler, more precise hand than I would.

Sometimes you need to get into good trouble, necessary trouble.

He's a fool. This is akin to an outside engineer hacking and slashing at code he doesn't understand and then tests it "in production". All of us engineers worth a damn know how that is going to turn out.

People like you have been wrong about everything. Why do you insist on still believing what you want to be true but obviously isn’t? You’re like the IBM of thinking lol.

And sometimes you need to tell the world you're a clown.
