Our mission has remained very consistent: use design and technology best practices to improve government services. The new administration has different policy priorities, but it has been remarkable to see the bipartisan support for our miss

Some people might not have realized USDS is still around since it was best known for the Healthcare.gov rescue under Obama. But it's still here, and still hiring people to work on problems like this www.usds.gov/join

Here's a link to the actual work - which is impressively presented - instead of this BoredPanda nonsense which is little more than bootleg theft. https://www.rferl.org/a/the-mammoth-pirates/27939865.html

This is awesome work that is going to make it easier for a number of our digital service teams across government to deploy services. [shameless plug to join public service for a year or two] If you're interested in joining 18F or the U

Many positions are DC-based (at least some part of every month), but several of our digital service teams (including the largest and most mature Digital Service team at GSA called 18F https://18f.gsa.gov ) have remote offices and

It's pretty damning of the HealthKit product team that a post like this is required. Why would Apple publish the app at all? It seems like they should have released iOS8 with some kind of simple pedometer/stair counting app that l

Totally agree with this sentiment. The best thing about teaching kids some basic programming is that it shows them that they have the power to shape the world, rather than just experience it. Whether or not they go on to do anything code-re

Hey USNetizen: want to email rfpez@gsa.gov with some of your issues? The team is good, but very small and I know they would love your feedback.

Yeah, sorry about that. You have to pick your battles in gov IT.

Thanks for reporting. I think this should be fixed, if you want to try again.

Some of my Innovation Fellow colleagues at GSA are trying to do just that: making it easier for modern, small web development shops to apply for government IT contracts. Check it out: https://rfpez.sba.gov/

Nice post. It's kind of odd that the consumer versions of Chrome and (especially) Firefox are loaded with developer-oriented features. I use these every day, but there's not a great reason for these to be in the main release. Perhaps there

+1 to this. I am on Rdio now for $10/mo, and I easily would have paid Lala the same monthly fee for their service. I assume they were in bad shape because they had to pay every time someone streamed a song, and not enough of their users wou
