For starters it takes years to sell into government any way. If he writes his first line of code today they might have a sellable product ready in a year. Then getting FEDRAMP accredited and going through procurement cycles probably another year or so.
I think the current administration is likely open to technology-first solutions to reduce friction in government, and the next administration is likely going to have to take a similar approach too.
> I think the current administration is likely open to technology-first solutions to reduce friction
The facts are they are actively working to introduce more friction, red tape, waste, and dysfunction into the government. Making the government more effective and efficient is the opposite of their goals stated in Project 2025.
He didn't say whether he working on a technology solution. That's possible, but I was assuming he was heading towards a more philanthropic approach (which is the ideal end state for a wealthy person).
>think the current administration is likely open to technology-first solutions to reduce friction
People really need to stop believing the lies they're using to "justify" their actions in public.
More friction, mistakes, and inefficiencies are the point here. Lookup "Starve the Beast".
They have very openly stated the purpose of this is to destroy government institutions to get back at "the deep state". The deep state = their enemies. It isn't about improving budget. It isn't about improving efficiency. This is just about destroying the government and harming the correct people.
All this also has the added benefit of removing regulation/oversight which is gonna let certain people(Musk, Trump, etc) fleece the government of money/power.
Trump and Elon's entire plan is to make government more inefficient to convince people that giving large chunks of public funding to private business to run government is a good idea.
Great Question | Rails / React Software Engineers | Full time, Remote (US - Colorado preferred; Brazil - Florianopolis preferred)
Great Question is a unified customer research platform used and loved by teams at companies like Figma, Canva & Brex. Our platform makes it easy for anyone to recruit research participants, schedule customer interviews, and share what you learn with your team all in one place.
We're third-time founders, backed by Y Combinator, building a company for the long-term, with a great team across the board, and shipping at a rapid yet sustainable pace.
We use Ruby on Rails, React, Postgres. We run on AWS.
We're looking for full-stack & backend engineers (emphasis on Rails) with some product sensibilities who believe in the power of understanding your customers to build world class products.
We've built an awesome team + culture at the company, high candor + EQ environment and we ship. We also welcome applicants who have previously run their own startups, with a bunch ex-founders on the team from the likes of Respondent and Indiegogo.
We're 100% remote in that we don't have offices anywhere in the world, you can work from home etc.
However we're focusing our hiring on specific hubs including Colorado (we actually don't mind which city / town you live in within Colorado), and Brazil (with some emphasis on Florianopolis.
We have team mates all over the world, so we're not totally opposed to folks coming from wherever but it's not without its overhead: regulatory burden in needing to register and pay taxes in all of these jurisdictions, impacts on ability to get together for offsites in central locations etc.
So yes, we're fully remote but for these roles we have a strong bias for people in Colorado or Brazil.

And every county is slow walking the actual issuance. I would be surprised if there has been any material increase in CCW issuance in the last 180 days.
