      So I said I'm going to start discussing how "modern" frontend practice impacts experiences using public sector sites. Lets get into it. You know who deserves the very best experience?

      This is a shitty diatribe. The @USDS unraveled decades of impossible UX by consolidating hundreds of sites and simplifying access to critical benefits like healthcare, housing assistance, and pension. http://vets.gov  saves lives.https://www.usds.gov/report-to-congress/2016/vets-dot-gov/ …

      The intent isn't to excoriate it, or detract from that, as Alex said up front and reiterated. It's to use public sector sites to analyze & communicate current web eng practices. If you have ideas how he can do that without inspiring your objection here, I'm sure he'd hear them.

      I have very real reservations about posting public-sector traces for these reasons. My better-half was early GDS, then CFA (pre-USDS, we hoped it'd start up in time for her to join; timed out). My intent is not to feed a false narrative about the quality of govt services.

      I'm really struggling with what to do about disclosure here. Have had lots of conversations in the past couple of days about a "responsible disclosure" style of discussion about this. That'd include private sector, which would let me sleep better.

          This is as *pervasive failure in front-end development* that undermines good work done in other areas (content, service design, a11y, etc.). Public-sector work is, regrettably, caught up in the tide. Turning the tide will help all.
