The upside here, is that maybe this will mean growth of in-house government IT departments? There are already large IT departments, but there is a growing trend to outsource work. Perhaps the gov will start hiring good people and let them use modern tooling, now they realise that tech companies wield too much power. I'd love to get a job for a big gov department and be in charge of integrating GitLab into their workflow and modernising the infrastructure.

There are some lean/start-up influenced offices that are trying to change the culture and modernize things but I expect progress to be BRUTALLY slow, unless another tech bubble bursts and for some reason rock star coders are on USAJobs.gov trying to get positions that pay ~$50k-$60k (plus a substantial housing subsidy).
