### Source excerpt

I've had a bit of a crazy week. Tuesday, I got a tour of the Pentagon from a friend that is in the US Digital Service (USDS) for the Department of Defense (DoD), called the Defense Digital Service (DDS). Wednesday (the day of writing this), I shadowed a friend who is a surgical resident during their shift in a hospital.

The program is great for tech people who want to have an impact on modernizing technology for the government. Having just left a job at Microsoft, I was quite familiar with a very large organizational structure and the power dynamics that exist in people with titles. It was interesting to me to see the parallel between that and the setup o
