A departing USDS leader’s thoughts on DOGE.
Anne Marshall, whose LinkedIn says she was director of engineering for the US Digital Service (the White House tech task force that Elon Musk took over to shield DOGE from oversight), resigned today after he sacked a third of the team.
From her farewell post:
“If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they also wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement - who prevent waste up front, before the funding is committed to contracts unlikely to have successful outcomes. These are the kinds of folks DOGE should have listened to when they joined the government. But they didn’t, and they clearly still don’t understand.”
