This seems broadly good. If you told me a democratic admin had recruited these people, I would think "wow! what a positive signal for the current admin!"

The Obama admin created the US Digital Service — i.e. the unit that “DOGE” has now reappropriated — which attracted and hired folks like Google’s Matt Cutts [0]. The USDS did not, as far as we know, try to sneak in fresh-out-of-college-grads by bypassing the normal hiring process.

You should probably pay more attention to what people do rather than their credentials as it’s a more powerful signal.

I for one trust Mr.BigBalls to make smart and effective cuts to get our government back on track!
