Today was my last day as chief of staff of the tech division at @WHOSTP. These past 2.5 years have been so rewarding and fun — and I’m very grateful to have worked with such amazing colleagues. I’ll miss it a lot!

it's all part of the startup life: cofounder breakups, boardroom coups, investor vs board vs founder civil wars, everything but if you're going through it for the first time, it's insanely stressful

Executive Orders take a lot of work, consensus building, political capital accruing, team assembling, process pushing, diverse expertise collecting, bureaucracy hacking, cooperation, listening, and a ton of Microsoft Word redline versions to get out the door. 1/2

Just when we most need our government to work—to decarbonize our infrastructure, support marginalized people through a pandemic, and address our housing crisis—it is faltering. So what do we do now? Maybe it’s time to recode the American government. techequitycollaborative.org/…
