re: #50 Political Atheist

Question for all you internet /web site tech savvy people-
How far wrong would I be if I asserted the ACA as one of the most challenging web site launches ever? #1? top 5? Top 10?

Charles you might have a really good idea with what you face here.

I don’t know about most challenging ever… I don’t have enough technical details about it to really judge that. But it’s definitely a very complex task, just looking at what it’s supposed to do.

The Obama admin definitely screwed up the launch; my impression is the developers didn’t do enough (or any?) stress testing under high server loads. Seems like the scheduling was way too optimistic given the scale of the project.
