God damn government funded bullshit projects .... why can't they hire real Software Engineers by increasing their pay and benefits to match that of companies that steal talent.

The US gov is a total disaster when it comes to tech. I would not be surprised (and it is actually extremely likely, according to several Cyber Security experts) if Russia has already infiltrated every government system and is just sitting there data mining.

Hell, the NSA already collects all of our data, all Russia needs to do is infiltrate the NSA.
