Is anyone working on scaling up approaches like the US Digital Service? It is clear that government is often shafted by contractors that spend very little of the project budget on programmers, and it's starting to hurt people (rather than just being a tax on progress).

The Government could easily push contractors to hire a larger percentage of programmers, and reject contracts with low programmer head count by claiming that such setups do not appear likely to succeed. What's the US Digital Service approach?
