18F was a digital services team within the U.S. GSA that helped government agencies build, buy, and improve technology to enhance public services. It was an internationally recognized #GovTech project for #DigitalTransformation
It was eliminated yesterday.

Why did I not know about this cool agency until its destruction. This has been a thing I have been thinking (and sometimes annoying people with by vehemently arguing) that we desperately need it for years. For *everything* in #publicservice. Be it taxes, #digitalservices on all levels, hospitals, universities, schools, #healthinsurance. From better websites to thorough #infosec. None of this work should be reinventing the wheel, and none of these orgs usually know how to do any of it well.
