CEOs should code

President Donald J. Trump just signed an Executive Order creating the Task Force to ELIMINATE Fraud. Chaired by @VP Vance, this task force will crack down on fraud, close loopholes, and make sure benefits go ONLY to eligible Americans. Promises Made. Promises Kept. 🇺🇸

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.

Just added 9 more. Drugs for cholesterol, migraines, arthritis, asthma, and flu are now offered at huge discounts!

Before this Admin, the 8(a) Program was known as an easy target – and it was abused by shady firms who won federal contracts but passed work off to other, larger firms for a kickback. To root out those bad actors, we asked all 4,300 8(a) firms to submit 3 years’ worth of financial documents for review. And today, we took action to fully terminate over 620 who refused to comply. Any business that refuses to show us their books will not be allowed to do business with the federal government. sba.gov/article/2026/0…

It's hard to imagine a more dishonest graph than this one by the Guardian claiming China is bringing people out of poverty while the US is not. The US poverty rate has been so low for >30 years that it wouldn't even show up on the China graph if it had been plotted to scale!

Processed food kills. Eat real food 🥩🥦🥛

Today, SBA suspended 1,091 firms from the 8(a) Program – about a QUARTER of total program participants – after they refused to turn over basic financial documentation for our review. In total, the suspended firms received about $5 billion from the federal government from 2021-2024. We pledged last month that every contractor would be required to PROVE that they aren't running one of the pass-through schemes or shell companies that gamed the system after the Biden Admin expanded the 8(a) Program to advance its DEI agenda. Now we’re taking immediate action with one simple principle: if you’ve got something to hide, you shouldn’t be doing business with the federal government. bizjournals.com/bizjournals/ne…

L.A. County has become an epicenter for health care fraud in America. Criminals have corrupted the system so much that fraud is now almost expected. President Trump has made it clear: we will not tolerate the patient harm or taxpayer funded theft any longer. More to come.

@Austen @Austen The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a good one.

Is there any utopian singularity sci-fi?

@JayElston2 @JWhite75297 The data shows that they are strongly correlated.

@SamCorcos @JWhite75297 It is a well known fact that all the folks who can write code and solve problems are also fluent in Spanish and Mandarin, and have a passion for early 20th century American Literature.

@SantiagoPliego @JoshuaSteinman @boardisfun These might be a stretch at 6yo, but I'd try: 1. Ticket to Ride 2. Kingdomino 3. Splendor Kids (and maybe normal Spendor, but could be too much math for 6yo) 4. Forbidden Island Worst-case, they're too complex and you can play them in a couple years.

@LisaTho26849367 @Skypadusa Depends on if that mechanical engineer can code. We're doing software development.

@SamCorcos @Skypadusa Mechanical engineering qualify?

@perpetualtalk The link is in the original post 😛

@SamCorcos Link to apply? Thanks

@perpetualtalk We do need people who can write SQL among other things -- especially at IRS. I think some of the most interesting data science related projects in the world are there.

@SamCorcos Cool. Is a SQL data specialist the kind of role you're looking for? Vibe coding is my side hobby; data is my main specialty.

@perpetualtalk We have locations in pretty much every major city.

@SamCorcos Remote job: No. Which location? Is NJ on the list?

@rick_denu Working on it!

@SamCorcos Can you develop an algorithm that stops dead people from receiving payments once they’re reported as deceased please.

@Josh9817 @MLSophist That makes it a good test 😉

WTF

@PaulaRevere111 Probably. Depends on what a crypto analyst does? 🤔 Does a crypto analyst know how to code? Write SQL (or whatever the crypto equivalent is)?

@SamCorcos Do you need a crypto analyst?

@MexRico_ Yeah, it'd be at any of our offices. I think we have several in New York.

@SamCorcos Does this require you to work at a specific office or is generally any major IRS office enough to fulfill the in-person requirement? I'm very interested, I'm NYC based and have been working in AI startups at enterprise scale for a while now.
