Yep. I’m a principal qa engineer and this looks like it wasn’t even smoke tested.
They’re not glitches. They’re human stupidity, expressed in computer code.
I have to defend the Administration on that one. When it comes down to implementing a failed health care system, they went straight to the experts.
I jokingly said “government bureaucrats” but it seriously looks like it was programmed by beginners
They didn’t even have the sense to consult with any company or companies that handle a huge volume of traffic like Amazon or Google to see what happens when a million people try to access your site all at once.
I worked on a project that was poorly designed for a huge corporation with deep pockets.
Despite almost unlimited resources, the system failed because of the initial design.
Same thing is going to happen here. Even if they get it to sort of function, we the people will be required to serve the systems needs rather than ours.
Anytime software is "recoded" the regression testing should be completely rerun. "Recoding" at this point is not a good thing as far as working software goes.
I’m in IT. The developers and I have been discussing this since yesterday. The consensus is that it is a major CF and will probably take a year to be functional with only a handfull of the features they were trying to give it.
It suggests that the dems may cave not because of tenatious R.s, but because it won’t work anyway.
It is looking like a textbook example of wildly unreasonable management driven dates and shoddy BA work. I say that as a BA.
The website, like obamacare, is designed to fail from the start.
Three years and virtually unlimited funds to finance and acquire whatever technical expertise and people was needed and this is what they accomplished. I don't think adding some servers and tweaking code is going to help.
obamacare is nothing but the largest slush fund in history, paying off the public sector unions, consulting firms, favored 'charities' such as Planned Parenthood, activist groups such as the NAACP, and other orgs too numerous to name. They - obama and company - truly don't give a damn if anyone is able to sign up. Meanwhile we have the political-fight-of-our-lives to stop this trillion dollar robbery.
They didnt even have the sense to consult with any company or companies that handle a huge volume of traffic like Amazon or Google to see what happens when a million people try to access your site all at once.
Three years to get this thing launched, and they're "hoping in the near future to have a seamless process". What's the matter, Kathleen? Forget to include a contract provision for acceptance testing? I don't wish many people ill, but for this Nazi b!tch I'll make an exception. I just can't wait for the day that the undertaker stuffs a pound of cotton up her ass.
Hubby’s experience working with young college grads in IT and with young foreign programmers is that they are all clueless about how things work and how to make things work. The people hired to oversee or manage such projects are all clueless wonders. The directors are clueless wonders. Etc. LOL
I am wondering if they hired foreign company because all the good programmers for this sort of thing in the US are either employed doing something profitable or are conservative. They may have feared someone would deliberately sabotage the system. Hahaha
(Sitting in hospital waiting for son to have surgery).
That would require that these fools could arrive at a logical conclusion. From the comments I’ve read on various sites the conclusion is that single payer will solve all these problems.
Ping.
No doubt a "small, disadvantaged, minority female owned, Hub zone business".
Major league farce. Now these people are responsible for your medical care. Because we all know the government can do things better than anyone else. Maybe Mr. Obama will give one of his magic speeches, and that will cure everything.
Same here with MNSURE in Minnesota.
heheh. I’m already here. ;-)
I’ve been thinking about you. How is your son? Can you direct me to any threads - I’ve been away from internet lately and probably missed it. Prayers for your son’s complete recovery.
I hope that you are also commenting on those sites, about how this is just a taste of what “single-payer” health care will be like.
