What's so bad about a few people spending some time on a bot to improve inclusivity in the organization?
Do you know what 18F competes with? $4000 is literally irrelevant.

$4,000 for some engineers to fuck around at work might not sound much but that $4,000 came from taxing people. Believe it or not but to a lot of people $4,000 is a lot of money. That $4,000 could go to school supplies, education, WIC, Medicare, etc.
It also illustrates tax payer subsidized income inequality while a lot of people are struggling. Again some highly paid engineer making more money fucking around at work than some other taxpayer delivering real value but at lower wage.
