Founder Sahil Lavingia says he was booted from Dogi after just 55 days.

Sahil Lavingia has published a diary, starting her time as a member of Elon Musk's Dogge Workforce. It is a small read – Lavingia's Dogi Stint lasted for just 55 days – but it provides new details on the temporary government organization formed by the Executive Order of President Trump.

Lavingia is a famous name in Silicon Valley, who has the initial employee of Pinterest from his days as his current gig founder as the founder of Gumrod, a platform where manufacturers can sell their goods. He is also a famous seed and fairy investor.

He wrote in Dog as a software engineer for the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) in mid -March. What is from his account is surprising that the agency of the 473,000-employees government had strict rules, which could be targeted in a retrenchment, and he quickly learned that everything in VA was not as incompetent as he had imagined. He also said that Dogge is not a well -worthy machine.

As a volunteer, who had a salary of $ 0, he was immediately tasked to identify “useless” contracts and people should take VA, he wrote. But he was surprised to discover aspects such as seniority and the person's experienced position (it was VA, after all), which could be targeted. Performance in the view of Lavingia can be placed at the lower level in the list.

He also described Dogi's advisory role as McKinse Management Advisor and said that Dogi is not responsible for the action taken by Orgs. “Dogi had no direct right. The real decisions came from the heads of the agency appointed by President Trump, who were intelligent to act as 'Fall Gai' to Dogy for unpopular decisions,” he says.

This is the same as Musk declined for the Washington Post this week. Musk described Dogi as the “whipping boy” of Washington, DC, convicted for every unpopular decision.

Lavingia said that he joined Dogge after campaigning for Berney Sanders in 2016 as he had dreamed of writing code for the government that helped people on a scale. Because there was not much time in his Dogi missiles, he said that he worked on projects that were interested, including VA's already used LLM-based chatbot's UX.

He said that he constructed a long list of goods during his tenure of his minimalist, but did not get the opportunity to do heavy projects, such as “the giants' filing of giants filing the claims of disability or automatically to automatically expedite the processing of claims.”

And, he wrote, “I was never able to get approval to ship anything for production that would actually improve American life – while also saving money for the American taxpayer.”

However, they were allowed to open their source of work. Their work included a device, which scanned the internal PDF for words “DEI, gender identity, climate initiatives, which related to partnerships”, described on the tool page, as well as using devices that used LLM to analyze the contracts and were a tool for the construction of ORG charts.

He also visited the lack of organization in Dog itself. “I wondered why there was no centralized Dogo Software Engineering Playbook with all our learning; Overall, I was surprised by the lack of knowledge-sharing within Dogi. It seemed that every engineer started with scratch.”

After discussing his work with a reporter of the fast company, he was unmatched with a 55 -day -long ax. “I got a boot from Dogi,” he wrote. “Immediately after the publication, my access was canceled without warning.”

However, in the FC interview, he also said that he was taught to work closely with VA, while it was slow like a huge enterprise, it still “works.”

“I would say that the shock of culture is mostly a lot of meetings, not a lot of decisions,” they say. “But honestly, it's fine in a way – because the government works. It is not as incompetent as I was expecting, to be honest. I was expecting a much easier victory.”

Their experience captures the dilemma of keeping the heavy government agencies completely as they remain functional. While all taxpayers want less waste, and the government can certainly benefit from the more programmer immersed in the latest technology, perhaps the volunteers of the Silicon Valley swooped as if they are building a startup from scratch, it is not the answer.

Lvingia did not immediately respond to our request for additional comments.
