> The idea for a Digital Corps was sparked by technologists across government who identified a gap in the federal government’s journey towards digital success — a lack of early‑career technology talent. TTS recognized the need for entry‑level technologists to not only bring immediate innovation but also to serve as a continuing resource for government digital transformation.

I can't tell if this means they will just hire a dozen junior web developers or if it's more than that. There's is a lot the government could do but they really need to attract a different skill set. The FIPS standards are incredibly out of data and only cover a very small amount of software.

Imagine if common but insecure/open by default software stacks like MongoDB, etc. had a FIPs like mode that would disable super permissive settings.
