  I suspect it is vibe coded. Contract won in June. Deploying in September.
  Good luck to all of us.

    Deploying first to DC? Yeah, that’ll end well.

    Honestly. Of all the places to deploy first I’m happy it’s that one.
    The government politicians who approved this are frequent flyers out of there, so they’re at least getting their lives out on the line before the rest of the country if it proves ill managed or conceived.
    It’s basically dogfooding.
