I loved reading this in 2008, was my first encounter with Atul Gawande and caused me to seek out other medical writers like Oliver Sacks. Thanks to @dove for reposting this incredible piece of writing.

We've adapted this at 18F. It's not a fork but it is based on and inspired by Thoughtbot's original project. Strong recommend. https://github.com/18f/laptop

The tour of duty metaphor isn't perfect, but I've always interpreted the "tour" part to refer to the term limit. Everyone in the DS and at 18F has a hard term limit. Can't speak for every municipal government, so do

Pretty sure it's illegal for federal entities to lobby Congress. The Anti-lobbying Act makes it pretty hard, anyway. But folks like you could lobby your reps and senators and attempt to get them to increase federal pay. This is a dem

The git integration could be a lot better but I like the green or amber hairlines next to the line number that give you a real-time git diff against HEAD. Cool feature. It is a bit slow, especially when opening files, I've noticed.
