Healthcare.gov may be a 'black swan'

Larry David killed one when he was Golfing on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Must have been the beginning for his love of Obama.

I would love to see the gantt chart for this project. Whoever was responsible for managing this fiasco had to be aware that there was no way in he** that this would fly.

I loved Sebelius’s comment that she had ‘Hoped’ that the rollout would be successful.

Rule #1 in IT: If you are ‘Hoping’ that a software rollout will be successful, then you are already screwed.

I was thinking something very similar. Auto insurance, fill out a form and then check your email. Insurer that what your business will respond to the email address you left. Simple and effective. Now, the back end that allows insures to check you eligibility would still have to be built, but that would not be to difficult to build. I could bring in such a system for way less the 640 million. lol.

"I would love to see the gantt chart for this project.

I spent six very hard weeks telling the president of my (start up) company "No way" when she showed me the gantt chart of the project she wanted to build. We had a two hour meeting every day and she pounded me without mercy trying to get me to agree to build the monstrosity she wanted to build. Two hours every day, "No, No, No". Finally she gave up and said OK fine, do it your way. We were in production a year later with a very nice object management/configuration management system that is still in use today. Sadly maintenance was outsourced to India so it likely the project it on it's last legs. But we had a good 25 year run. Some times you just have to say No.

I took a personal hit, and she never really liked after that, but when something really needed to get done and no one else could figure out how to do it, she always turned to me. Lol, but as soon as I figured out a solution she gave the project to someone else. WTF!

If gov is reading this and interested in my services I am available. :)
