This is literally nothing - visualizing an org chart using D3 (a JS dataviz library), playing around with open source geospatial datasets, and a Twitter DM downloader for personal use.
Look at the screenshots, not the description by this "politics reporter" who seems to be indulging in evidence-free witch hunts.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoevidence free witch-hunts. Hm. I wonder where else I've seen that recently.
- rectang 2y agoThe DOGE staffer gets infinite chances, infinite understanding, and infinite excuses. The staffers DOGE targets, if they're lucky, get one chance to prove loyalty.
- WD-42 2y agoExactly, these look like baby’s first JavaScript projects. Surprising considering these doge employees are supposed to be genius coder whiz kids, and yet this looks like the work of someone following a tutorial to write their first tweet downloader.
- forgotpwd16 2y agoDoes being a 'genius coder whiz kid' imply knowledge of every technology? Should one only be allowed to publish code according to your standards? What kind of nonsense is this?
- WD-42 2y agoIt implies knowing your boss owns X and you shouldn’t need to write a downloader at all, direct DB access is more efficient, they should know this they’ve been doing a lot of it lately.
- forgotpwd16 2y agoLet's skip the statement that Musk being the head to both DOGE (a public agency) & X (a private company) somehow makes it acceptable for one to have access to the other's sensitive data, the downloader project could be unrelated to their DOGE work.

- Waterluvian 2y agoYes and no. It’s like opening a trunk and finding rope, crampons, a glass cutter, duct tape, a ski mask, and a pamphlet about the museum’s diamond exhibit. None of this is impressive or sufficient evidence for a prosecution but we’re not in court.
