Journalist/historian David Halberstam coined the term “best and brightest” to describe the so-called experts who bungled the Vietnam War. It’s an unfortunate choice of phrase, particularly at a time of intense partisan conflict.
“It’s a terrible metaphor,” said Marc Sandalow, a political analyst with KCBS Radio (and formerly the longtime Washington D.C. bureau chief for the San Francisco Chronicle). ”The government should have had the best and brightest working on this website three years ago, but as it turns out, bureaucracy is complicated.”

I'd suggest O-Blamer, Bite-Me, Undertaker Reid and Nancy Pug-ugly as the first Astro-nuts to do the colonization!
Team Obama relied on the audacity of hope for their Healthcare.gov website development. They didn't even think it was necessary to test the system before rolling it out.
How's that Hope'n'Change™ working out?
If the application is fatally flawed to begin with then all the IT resources in the world won’t save it.
Its purpose is to create a list of people that don't have health insurance. The people that signup on healthcare.gov aren't going to have health insurance and won't get it. That list is going to be given to the IRS so they can collect fines for not having insurance.
The other purpose of Obamacare is to fully implode the health care system so Uncle Scam can nationalize the whole thing. It'll probably implode the whole economy. Good thing they spent the past ten years setting up the DHS, TSA, and NSA to take on the American people.
Will never work.
Throwing more people at a code problem will most likley make the problem worse. The best path in this case would be to pull the system off line and rewrite the system from scratch.
If you try to patch it no telling what unknown bugs and errors will be introduced. Often times hidden from view until someone stumbles across them. I wouldn’t trust my information to that website! Wanna bet its not secure!?!?!
The worst likely produce a net drag on the "team" and need to find another line of work where they might actually become productive.
Is it designed to handle a DDoS?
My wife and I found a simpler solution. She has given three months notice that she is quitting her job. I’m an IT contractor without insurance but we are both covered under her employer.
In January we’ll be flying without a parachute. No health care insurance. We’re part of the young invincibles, yeah baby!
Except we will also be turning 60 at the same time. :\
Exactly. You can unfry an egg.
CAN’T unfry an egg
Cause even when it does work all you find are plans 60% more expensive than what you had, with $9000 deductibles and no clue as to whether you are getting a subsidy?
“Another example of “the low bidder gets the government job”????”
This job wasn’t sent out for bids. Supposedly, it was given to this company without a bidding process. It should be investigated.
That’s a good analogy. Another one youthful programmers hate is “Make it work on paper, first. Then move it to a program.”

So true! They need some new software architects, not more coders.
The denouement as presented in the posted article:
“. . . a number of web-based entities will emerge in the private sector — both startups and established companies — to offer online alternatives for consumers to shop for health insurance.”
So as I understand it, the government decided to replace individual, supposedly inefficient private sector insurance choices with an efficient, centralized public-sector site, which now is going to be replaced by individual private sector sites that will make up for the inefficiencies of the government’s alternative. Is that about right?
I hope President Palin says “Before my 8 years are up, we will send a team to mars to establish a colony”
how many libs can we send at a time???
Agreed
