The whole SDD (Spec Driven Design) thing is very valuable for AI development; but it carries the risk of BUFD. We'd like to avoid that. So the iterative nature of software development should be maintained. Just enough specs for the stories in this sprint -- just like we used to say that QA should write just enough acceptance tests for this sprint.
Also, we will be modifying those specs as the sprints go by. Specs will be co-authored by the humans and the AI, but with final approval, ferociously defended, by the humans.
And don't fret about the word "sprint", even if your sprint size is a day, an hour, or a microsecond, the same rules apply. Small Steps.
🚨USA CANCELS ALL MONEY FOR N.G.O'S
WOW IT'S FINALLY OVER
The fraud scheme that has existed around the world with organisations raking in MILLIONS from Western Countries has come to an end
No more money for NGO's
The UK must do the same
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!
- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!
Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.
When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!
This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
