Per the Obamacare Web Disaster: Many of you know I develop websites just like this for a living. It's what I do.
I am here to tell you, given three years that they were given, if I had the following team: One artistic Design person, One skilled DBA, one skilled Security guy, one Web/Data integration specialist, three skilled developers (2 on .NET and one on jQuery), one Business Analyst who knew the legislation, and one Policies and Procedures person (for the ATO and C&A certifications and documentation) and me as Architect, I could have had this thing deployable and humming along on Oct 1.
Yes, the scope would be larger because of the multiformat data exchanges with other Federal agencies..... but that is why I assigned one guy for Web/Data Integration. He'd have three years, and I would ALSO take this strategic move:
I would launch a web service, secured, where they could both retrieve and deliver data. THEY would need to meet MY interface requirements. Thusly I would leverage their people, costing us less. My Web/Data Integration specialist would then only have the task of retrieving the data from the secure web service repository, and shuffle it where it needs to go.
I could have done with with 10 good people. See, I've DONE systems of this complexity before. My estimate of man-years is accurate. We'd have 30 man-years, plenty of labor necessary to accomplish this.
10 people. Let me re-emphasize that.
10 people.
That's it.
I would not have charged 300 million, I would have charged 12 million -- maybe even 15!.... and we would have all gotten EXTREMELY wealthy on it.
This does not include hardware and the people to set that up. Figure 20 million for that.
Because this Obamacare website is such an ongoing disaster, I am compelled to creativity.
I HEREBY COIN THE TERM:
"FUSTERCLICK" (c)
>>If you give me the right nine women, I can get you a baby in one month.
So clearly you’ve read The Mythical Man-Month!
But Laz...
Would you have been Obama’s gentleman friend in order to get the job?
I’m pretty sure that’s what’s required under ‘hope and change’.
What sweet little ol’ ladies!
Yep. That’s about right.
Only four stars, Laz?
“>>If you give me the right nine women, I can get you a baby in one month.
So clearly you’ve read The Mythical Man-Month!”
Had you gone to an Ivy League college and become one of the “Enlightened Ones”, you would understand and gratefully accept the wisdom of the Immaculated Won and the sacrifices He and His have made for you and yours.
Indeed, they have made sacrifices for your grandchildren!
Yea, verily sacrifices have been ordained/made for the next three generations.
Their ordinances.
Your sacrifices.
Get grateful, Bubba - or the IRS will be on your doorstep.
They’ve already been. It hasn’t been that long since 10/15, when I got the final numbers for the damage for the 2012 tax year. Ouchie.
Exactly! That was the first thing that struck me about it, too.
And you are a harding working knowledgable person with the background and skills to make this happen. The sad truth is that CGI is none of those things and most of the federal government has workers that are none of those things.
This is exactly why private industry does these things better and faster
that is a really sad gif....how degraded our society has become
“The fancier they build the plumbing, the easier it is to clog the drains.”
Shhhhhh...Laz, don’t tell them.
They will force you to fix it.
OH OH!!....the “SHUTDOWN” was one thing but the SLOWDOWN appears to have trumped it by light years...

It's;
... as described in paragraph b except when "a" is substituted for "some" but not "all" (except as defined in verse 4, line 7, word 6, letter 5 (a), then refer to Code 6 , line 2; "of which is" (as in line 8, but not paragraph 3 ..."
I know. I work with this stuff. What you do is, make the substitutions in the text, and it becomes readable again.
