>> And the same can be said of the Amazon site when it launched. And yet there were way too many glitches. Total nonsense. Amazon NEVER had the kinds of incompetency problems the healthcare.gov website has faced and is facing. I was a very early customer at Amazon. In 97 they were running on a single server, and there were times it was slow or crappy. But Bezos wouldn't have tolerated the kinds of incompetent shit this president stuck on the web. Because Bezos knew his "legacy" depended on having great service. Bugs happen in software, problems happen in networks. But month-long (or worse) problems after a three year development process cannot be explained away by so-called "glitches". This is what happens when government attempts to do something big. It turns into a fiasco. Routinely, on schedule.
