It’s almost like they are saying one thing and doing another. Imagine announcing to the world you're going to do the difficult job of making big changes and cuts in the government in order to make it more efficient. Then taking an organization that is demonstrably doing that job well already and destroying the whole thing. What if I told you there was a group of user researchers, engineers, product managers, and procurement specialists within the federal government whose job was to partner with other federal agencies, learn directly from them and the people they serve what problems they face, and come up with solutions tested with real users? https://chriscoyier.net/2025/03/05/its-almost-like-they-are-saying-one-thing-and-doing-another/
