Several months ago there was a strange story from a startup founder who was lost and looking for his next step.
He described how he got recruited into DOGE (or what was to become of it) via a series of online conversations that served as interviews. It was light on details but gave the impression that he basically got vibe-checked by a couple informal chats until he was into DOGE.
He left quickly afterward, not giving many details. He meant it as a side note to his story but I thought it was telling that people with zero experience in auditing or managing large government systems were being vibe-checked with online chats straight into DOGE, which was then given massively destructive powers to cut government spending.
So I suppose I’m not too surprised to see another startup founder mysteriously appear in DOGE, doing mysterious things to our nation’s infrastructure.
