Until earlier this month, my pal Ethan Marcotte was a government employee. He was working at 18F, a fascinating part of the US government:
We help other government agencies build, buy, and share technology products. 18F is a team of designers, software engineers, strategists, and product managers within the General Services Administration. We collaborate with other agencies to fix technical problems, build products, and improve public service through technology.
Ethan’s post detailing why he felt compelled to move on from this job is worth reading and considering.
