>> The people that helped to build the new Healthcare.gov are unusual: Instead of some obscure sub-contractor in a nameless office park in northern Virginia, the site was iteratively created by a cross-disciplinary team of developers and editors at HHS, and contractors at Teal Design, Edward Mullen Studio, and Development Seed, a scrappy startup in a garage in the District of Columbia.
Not the “obscure” contractors, but the other ones at Teal, Mullen, etc.
Cross-disciplinary, scrappy garage startup... That’s like so hip, man....
Sounds like metrosexual wannabe programmers too busy not asking and not telling to properly test the site.
