Anyone getting access to a federal system is going to need some kind of background check; training on and agreement to follow the rules about not misusing that data, copying it to unauthorized systems, trying to circumvent a security control, etc. If the reports about having administrator access are true, that would likely involve stronger policies since administrators not only have greater access but also fewer constraints which could prevent misuse of that access (e.g. the normal user interface might not let you download PII in bulk but a SQL query wouldn’t have that restriction unless carefully built in).
Again, none of this is remotely normal and it hasn’t previously been a contentious point that sensitive data has safeguards. The difference here is that they’re impatient and acting like it’s a hostile takeover.
It's a given that any 20-something tech bro is going to have a nickname 'big balls', just goes with the territory. I fail to see what the outrage is about. He's just following orders of Daddy Musk.
It's one thing to produce ideas, it's another thing to implement everything including the CI/CD, authentication, Github Actions, etc... Now when some new unicorn comes along in 2036 that promises a ChatGPT+ based 'solution generation' app that can produce all the code & deployment for a real revenue generating application, then it's game over for all of us.
