    Under pressure from the Elon Musk-led Department of
    Government Efficiency, nearly all the staff of the Defense
    Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development
    arm — are resigning over the coming month, according to the
    director and three other current members of the office
    granted anonymity to discuss their job status freely, as
    well as internal emails.

    The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old
    program after the end of April.

    . . .

    Note this was just one of many Pentagon Nerd Squads,
    the headline might make you think otherwise.

    The goal seems to be in kind of consolidating the
    functions of the various Nerd Squads. DOGE thinks
    the different groups are sort of duplicating
    efforts, at a high price tag. Most nerds are to
    now be under the "Chief Digital and Artificial
    Intelligence Office".
