The entire staff of the Defense Digital Service (DDS), the Pentagon’s decade-old technology development office, is leaving by the start of May, with nearly all individuals resigning, a current member of the office confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday.

The mass exodus, first reported by Politico, means the service will effectively shutter in less than a month.

People do not understand the work federal employees do, and many federal employees don't even always comprehend how far the work can reach.

This 100%. People have no fucking concept of the permanent damage that has already been done.
