So We the Builders is a way for people who are federal workers to get their message out, to explain what's happening to people who have less access. Like, this is why this matters. This is why this is dangerous. And that idea coalesced along with another idea that we were floating, which was to tell stories directly of federal workers, like a Humans of New York, but for federal workers.

And I was like, wait, what? Could we do a platform to explain these things, to share it with the public, share it with reporters, share it with activists to help them to figure out their messaging, what the next steps are? I love the idea of explaining technical concepts to everybody so that it's demystified.

When you're in the private sector and you're rolling a social media app, you can just keep shipping code every five minutes, every 10 minutes. I specialize in helping people do that. But when you're in government, you can't just keep shipping and experimenting directly on people without taking great care. And making that a piece of how the work gets done makes it look slower.

But in the end, it gives us a product that people love, that people... Okay, I'll take it back. They may not love it. Nobody likes filling out a government form. But it's something that's usable. It's understandable. And it's about capacity building and culture shifting. And it usually looks slower than what we're seeing right now.

I don't think want is in the equation. It's whether they feel safe to, whether they feel they'll be able to. I've heard more than once lately, I'm waiting until it's time to go back in. You know, I'm biding my time and finding other ways to help. State governments, local governments right now are asking... for us to come over. Not us like the two of us, but us writ large.

We're seeing a lot of my state, Maryland, we want you, please come work for us. But I also need to call out some of my colleagues who are still there and intend to stay. Like what respect I have for them.

I described it earlier today to somebody as like playing Jenga, the game where you stack up the blocks. And if you just start pulling things out without being cautious, you don't know what's going to happen. And unplugging stuff, plugging stuff in to these systems introduces a lot of risk. This is people's livelihoods, their access to disaster recovery, health care, payments for their children.
