It is clear from the tenor of some of the posts here that more of you need to work for some non-zero time in the government so you can have some empathy / appreciation here. They’re hiring.
- mattnewton 7y agoThe same org separating children from their families at the border in violation of a court order? Why would I take a pay cut to work for that mission? I don’t fault the engineers in any case, it seems like their technical security wasn’t tested here; it was some kind of policy failure that lead to the information leaving government control. And that’s the problem, we don’t solve this with engineering, or empathy for engineers, we solve this by letting legislators know what we feel and know as members of the industry, through letters and the ballot box.
- sailfast 7y agoI meant government in general - not CBP. Without having worked in the federal space, it’s likely a lot of the context of this - policies, procurement, onboarding, security, etc is lost. Probably should have clarified and I deserve the downvotes. Agreed that CBP’s mission at the moment is a serious problem.
