The Air Force’s chief software officer Nic Chaillan announced his departure in a blistering online post Thursday that criticized senior leaders for not taking IT modernization seriously and hamstringing senior IT leaders.
While Chaillan listed accomplishments in the LinkedIn post from his three years with the service — ranging from cybersecurity reforms to new cloud platforms for software development — he wrote that his departure from federal service comes amid frustrations with the department’s commitment to basic IT. In his post, Chaillan wrote of a “lack of response and alignment is certainly a contributor to my accelerated exit.”

Not surprising. Most operators don't/won't/can't comprehend the complexity of communications/signal, much less the more extreme complexities of cyber defense/attack. IT/comms budgets were always robbed to pay for other things in the Air Force. At some point, you have to pay the piper. It's only slightly better on the outside, though.
