And there it is. Putinโ€™s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the worldโ€™s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I hope SaaS vendors realise by locking security features (like access APIs) behind their enterprise plan is only making me want to switch to an alternative #iso27001 #soc2 #vanta #saas

All SaaS companies should be on notice: AI will create "good enough" replacements that can be built in-house or found as open source. They need to demonstrate value; complex SaaS tools like Figma, etc., will be ok... for now.
