In the ever-changing landscape of technology, there’s a team that stood out within the U.S. government – it’s called 18F. This wasn’t just any group of tech experts; it was a special team within the General Services Administration (GSA) known for being really smart and innovative when it came to technology.

Think of 18F as a group of superheroes for government technology. They came together to help the government get better at making websites, apps, and other tech tools that are easy for people like you and me to use. Their goal was to make everything more user-friendly and up-to-date, which is super important when it comes to things like applying for benefits or finding out important information from the government.

They worked on a lot of projects, collaborating with different government agencies to make sure people could access services smoothly online. What’s really cool is that they also cared about how much things cost and tried to make technology that was both high-quality and didn’t break the bank.

Now, here’s the big news: 18F was actually shut down. This is a big deal because they were a crucial part of the government’s effort to step up its tech game. With 18F out of the picture, there are concerns about whether the government can keep improving its technology in the same way. It might become harder to get things done online with government sites, or we might start to see websites and apps that aren’t very user-friendly.
