     @djsumdog he does not even know version control exists because Cursor "developers" literally don't know anything.

     Everything about these DOGE people seems fake and gay. Peggy Hall isn't even in tech and she can smell through their entire bullshit story:

     Are there any video interviews with any of these kids? You only need one to completely disprove her theory.

     @djsumdog @eriner @sun I'm not trying to disprove anything. I have no reason to give a shit who works at DOGE. but obviously SOMEONE does. So is the suggestion that the narrative of genX incels working there fake? and they're actually middle age guys? If so, WHY? I don't get it.

     :blobcatshrug: dunno. Maybe her whole point is moot.

     I don't think DOGE is really doing anything though. It feels like USAID is just being offered up as a sacrifice of saying, "Hey we did something," plus the CIA probably wanted more of that money for programs that actually work for them. I'm pretty sure none of the stuff the CIA really wants will be cut; just moved over to the State Department.

     It'd be interesting to take a look at the executive/discretionary budget after the next budget season, to see how much money was actually cut.

     As far as the 20-somethings working there, maybe it's just an experimental narrative to judge reactions. I'm going to guess a lot of government propaganda is just A/B testing at this point.
