Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website

3-5% of the population general striking and protesting wildly could turn the tide. People say they can't afford time off work. They won't have work, if they don't. At least not paid work.

emulating some fucking redstone calculator they wrote in Minecraft
Let's stop right here for a bit. With redstone in Minecraft you can make the same logical constructs that in real world lead from a bipolar transistor to a machine capable of decoding your porn in real time. And people, including kids, do design those.
Please show some respect.
Those who make calculators in Minecraft are not the dumb kind.
Literally no other dimenstions of values to add, shit I would be fucking surprised if a single one of the people writing the goddamn have ever heard of OLAP.
But yes, weird to expect almost college kids to have the experience needed. I can imagine some of them having the necessary education, but for a data analyst the mathematical basis is simple and the rest is experience.

So you are telling me Musk has been touching techy things since about 1995 till now, and thinks there's an organization without any SQL at least someplace? I wouldn't dare suggest that about ISIS.
Any website - OK, web is inefficient and shouldn't be used. But their operations planning just wouldn't work so well without proper business analytics infrastructure.

The United States has been glory holed by anyone who paid admission.

There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language
As a Russian speaker, I don't understand this. Could you elaborate?

Doesn't seem avoidable.

What's sloppy about it? Plenty of blogs and other static sites work that way. In fact, that's largely how we do deployments at my company, we merge to a special branch and it triggers a deployment.

Yeah, my preference for government is to not change. Enforce the laws we have efficiently, and don't bother me too much. Big changes carry a lot of (usually) subtle carveouts for special interests.

To be fair, healthcare.gov had a rocky rollout too. No gaping security holes AFAIK though, so this is a new low.

Crowd source your database, what could go wrong?

No, penis.

I can’t wait till the next dumbass gets into the White House and turns this pile of grabage off. Paying these idiots millions to power and run the hardware this pitiful excuse of a website runs on. And all we got for that money is some shit that is about on par as the shit you get from some O’Reilly book called “Building a Government Website Crash Course” with a Bald Eagle dying of bird flu on the cover.
Thanks, I needed that. Poetic.

Well, it's sloppy for a government website. This is not a private enterprise running out of someone's garage. There's many reasons why that should not be an acceptable paradigm for posting government information.
If you're running a sandwich shop or a metal working shop, posting your phone number and address through CloudFlare Pages is probably fine.

Firing the IT people because they cost too much is always a good thing to show you the incompetence.

Neither is the company I work for. We're not Amazon, but we handle billions of revenue, our users have very high risk jobs, and they are using our software more and more to do these high risk jobs. We have a lot of controls about how things get released (QA team, and every change is tested before and after deployment), we just use our source control to handle the actual deployment.
Whether it's sloppy depends on their processes (i.e. who validates the change?), not the tools they use.
We don't use Cloudflare Pages, but we do use automatic deployments, and pretty much anyone on the team can submit a change for deployment. It'll get reviewed before going live, but that's a limitation we've placed on the tools and process.

Unwitting? No. They are knowingly and intentionally doing this.

No doubt your company has more invested in the domain name than a pointer to pages.dev, as well.
Do we think doge.gov has a QA group? Do we think there's more than two people who review changes? Or that they even review changes at all?
The setup your company has and what this appears to be (it's true, this is speculation) is probably vastly more than just "we both use git to manage production pushes". I'd bet you company has spent a fair number of years getting to this point, and doge.gov has not even secured a proper certificate while suggesting they're competent to handle the entire financial information of the United States Government.

Yeah I think the static page thing was just there to illustrate how the coders reverse engineered the api and saw what was getting called.
I agree static content alone on CF isn't "bad". This perfectly illustrates why you have to have your API shit together when you go with this approach.

Is it really a breach if they'll just hand it over to anyone who pays and/or stroke's Mango Mussolini's ego?
