I created the #CodeForAmerica Brigade in #Austin. As I reconnect to the #civicTech community, it greatly saddens me to see what has become of CfA.

It's not completely unexpected: ten years ago civic tech was groundbreaking and fundable. That all disappeared along with the Obama presidency.

Still, it's sad to see CfA transition from a community-focused organization to a union busting consultancy.
