When 150M people depend on your code

Watch this interview about open source and government with Remy DeCausemaker.

By ATO Team

We sat down with Remy DeCausemaker, Open Source Lead at Digital Service at CMS.org, for a great conversation. We talked about open source and government, why he left Silicon Valley and shifted into government, and how it feels to have 150M people depending on your code. He also talks about how to get involved and contribute and identifies a number of really good resources. Remy is one of our favorite people at ATO, not to mention maybe the coolest, and this interview shows why. He’s one of the nicest individuals we’ve ever met and he genuinely wants to help others.
