The government has whole departments of people whose job it is to be on top of this sort of thing.

Why is it suddenly part of the job description of a junior DOGE employee to build workforce org chart visualization tools and investigate strategic resource datasets? Isn’t that weird to have one brand new government employee doing self-taught random investigations of topics as complex as ‘government workforce management’ and ‘strategic resource analytics’?

That is totally fine to focus on. My point was focusing on the code prior to DOGE existing showing collection of GIS data.

We're in total agreement on this particular point.
