[they are not going to be able to fix this nightmare in 30 days. they wouldn’t even have time to properly test the fixes in 30 days.]
I have been working on a real estate expert system off and on for 5 years, some of the foundation code goes back ten years.
For the last two years running I’ve been telling people the code would be operational within 30 days. And I’ve believed it every time.
My code actually does work now, finally. But just verifying the results will take quite a while. My code base is say about 50,000 lines of code (it is hard to count lines in modern code systems, but that’s a good guess). Now multiply my problems times millions of lines of code and it doesn’t matter how many geniuses they throw at Obysmalcare.
The real problem with a system this big is no one person can get their head around everything, especially since it is all a moving target with new code every day and many inherited systems.
Couldn’t the same be said about the Federal government as a whole?
