> Move Fast and Break Things

Funny, but it raises a concern: You can't take that approach to White House IT. If something breaks, the consequence isn't that users' feeds of vacation photos malfunction; instead people die, nuclear codes leak, etc.



Whitehouse IT isn't responsible for anything important like that. That kind of stuff resides in the dod. Whitehouse IT would be responsible for communicating the message of the President to the public, doing special projects websites to garner support for a bill the president is hot on, etc.

Nobody will die if these IT people screw up.
