Obamacare's Healthcare.gov -- The greatest software development disaster in history / Generational Dynamics

Obamacare's Healthcare.gov -- The greatest software development disaster in history / Generational Dynamics: We've done an in-depth investigation into the software development effort behind the Massachusetts Health Connector, the Obamacare web site in Massachusetts that failed spectacularly, along with most other federal and state web sites.

Since most states had completely separate web site software development projects, it would seem almost impossible that almost ALL of them could fail so spectacularly, so there must be a common cause.

We've found that the common cause is a tsunami of money granted by the Obama administration. Contractors received $150-500 million for each web site that really needed only $10-20 million to develop. With all the money available to them, spending the money became the objective. Thousands of programmers were hired, most of whom apparently were completely incompetent. As each web site disaster unfolded, corruption and fraud to the point of criminality took over.
