Doge Developed Error-Prone AI Tool to "Munch" Veterans Affairs Contracts
I'm not sure exactly where you get 12 lines of code from. There are at least a hundred lines of LLM-related "prompt engineering" alone: see https://github.com/slavingia/va/blob/35e3ff1b9e0eb1c8aaaebf3..., for example.
Regardless, number of lines is not an accurate metric of how "essential" a component is to the functioning of the overall system. How about this, try removing the LLM-related code from the script... what functionality is left, exactly?

Former DOGE engineer on his experience working for the cost-cutting unit
This strikes me as disingenuous:
> I like when my software gets used by a lot of people and people send me nice emails. In this case, people weren't sending me the nicest emails, unfortunately. But they also didn't really know what I was doing. They saw DOGE, weren't a fan of certain things that they were associated with. But I think at the end of the day, like, the role of the U.S. Digital Service is to improve the UX (user experience) of being an American, which is pretty exciting. And anyone who lets me do that, I will try to work for, even if my friends and family aren't huge fans.
People weren't mad at him because he was trying to improve UX. They were mad at him because DOGE was doing a bunch of other stuff like "harassing government employees who talked about climate resilience", which he actively contributed to but conveniently omits from the interviews he's been giving recently:
