>> To hammer the point, they should have went with Ruby on Rails 4.x and Ruby 2.x. But they went with PHP and .NET. So they were screwed from the beginning. That's nonsense. The problem isn't the development platform, it is politics and the legislation. Because they didn't want the regs out before the election, they waited until afterward. You can't to a design, let alone write code, until the regs are issues and past the comment period. And because they didn't want to show unsubsidized prices they made the idiotic mistake of trying to do the subsidy computation off of live data, which made a fairly simple task far more complex. But they knew no one would buy it without the subsidy. Using an old version of asp was not a good decision. But it also isn't the core of the problem. As to scalability, .net is highly scalable. And traffic simply isn't the problem here, which was apparent to most of us about two days in.

The companies revenues were up 160%. Stock down 3% today. Wonder where the profits went.

RE:they should have went with Ruby on Rails 4.x and Ruby 2.x. But they went with PHP and .NET This shows a FAUX knowledge of web development. You would not use Ruby on Rails 4.x and 2.x on the same site, nor PHP and .NET at the same time. Ruby on Rails 4 was just released in June also. It says right in this article they used Jekyll, which is a Ruby based tech. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We started thinking about Jekyll as a platform and using Prose.io."After Sivak and his team read about Development Seed's work with Jekyll, they contacted the startup directly. After a little convincing, Development Seed agreed to consult on one more .gov project." theatlantic.com Quick-start Instructions ~ $ gem install jekyll ~ $ jekyll new my-awesome-site ~ $ cd my-awesome-site ~/my-awesome-site $ jekyll serve # => Now browse to http://localhost:4000 jekyllrb.com
