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: 18f.org

The folks in D.C. are bullies. They were the folks in jr. high who stuck their legs out to trip others. They laughed when someone fell and clapped when someone made a mistake. And now they give their undeserving friends top jobs and they run the country like a frat house. 😤
