18f were a bunch of badasses who actually *did* make government more efficient in a way that actually worked. And they did it while also being good people who cared deeply for the work, for each other, and for the people that used it.

18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

I have really dreamed of working for 18F since it was established. They are precedent setting people who turned digital work from “innovation” into infrastructure, and they have always been the best of us. This is devastating.
