The massive difference here is that the Doge team is acting as quickly making decisions about government funding and classifications of that spending e.g. if it's a "scam". If they're supposed computer experts making incorrect decisions about something as simple as web hosting you can be sure that they're making incorrect decisions in more important topics.

There’s many SDEs with long careers who would make security mistakes on websites, yet nonetheless are tech experts.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoDOGE isn't staffed with seasoned auditors (the government actually has those, and they're called Inspector Generals, and they mostly got fired by Trump); it's staffed with engineers who are supposed to be making the government "more efficient", and who are completely unqualified to determine whether something is "wasteful" or not.
