This will be the golden age of government software

Joining the Tech Force has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From helping build the IRS app to open-sourcing the first compliance tool for the government with @shl, the opportunities to make a real impact are incredible. Thank you, @SamCorcos , for making this possible. I’m excited to work closely with @as400495 and his team, who are making history at NDS. And a big thank you to @JohnCafazza, @taigrr , and @tylertaewook for the warm welcome. Excited for what’s ahead! If you’d like to join and make a real impact usajobs.gov/job/888508400?_g…

And which of us has done more for Ukraine, the obsolete brute who makes weapons for killing people or modern enlightened flag emoji boy?

.@VP is calling on America’s best engineers to help solve some of our country’s toughest challenges. Through @USTechForce and @WHFraudTF, we’re recruiting technical talent to strengthen public service, fight fraud, and protect taxpayer dollars. Answer the call.

"Energy Capacity = Economic Capacity" Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger on why America's power grid is the ceiling on growth: "We went through 10 to 15 years where essentially I was taking coal offline at the rate I was adding renewables, and essentially the nation was flatlined in terms of overall energy capacity." "So essentially our economic capacity as a nation, flat for fifteen years." "Even with that, we've gone to maybe increasing our national energy capacity 4% per year. Going from essentially zero to one." "Nuclear as base load is a fabulous thing that we want to go build more of. Unfortunately all of our renewables have deep dependencies in China." "Energy capacity somewhat dampens how euphoric we can get on AI. Why build a new data center and buy the million GPUs if I can't power them?" @PGelsinger @RaghuRaghuram @appenz

This is one of the best things I’ve posted in terms of being able to get talented people in tech connected to potential roles in the public sector. We need a lot more talent working with people like @jgebbia @USWREMichael @SamCorcos @skupor and many others.

My god this is such a good speech that every SWE needs to hear. You know what? Every person should hear it Keep the happy memories, eyes on the reality, be excited about the future. That’s the best that anyone can do

The Trump administration wants AI to conduct the tests that ensure blind people and those with other disabilities can access the government websites that Americans use to sign up for benefits or find other critical information. The outcry was immediate. washingtonsun.com/agencies/a…

Introducing the official IRS app!

DOGE works. Let’s keep it going. A cadre of gifted, creative and patriotic thinkers can uncover wasteful spending and reduce federal debt, writes @TylerHassen1 on.wsj.com/4iymuqW

One common theme of conversation over the last month has been: how do we get more technical people to work in DC or do a tour of duty. There are many many parts of USG where there’s technical expertise needed, especially with anything involving the AI stack. If you are an engineer or researcher, consider a stint working in any part of the USG or DoW or anywhere where the public sector of the country needs more technical help. Also if you are reading this and interested, DM me and I am happy to make some connections.

Allow illiquid founders to pledge shares with a loan from the government to pay tax. The loan period is long but not infinite (e.g. 10 years). The loan is non-resource: at the end of the period, the loan is either paid back in cash, or the government assumes the shares.

If I had a boss, I would want him to be as based as this.
