BC, Democrats running low on cash as Trump builds up war chest I was thinking just that when I read about how they developed that Iowa caucus app: The Shoestring App Developer Behind the Iowa Caucus Debacle From the article: The app developed by Shadow appeared to be built on a tight budget, according to Democrats familiar with the campaign tech ecosystem and engineers. Shadow was paid about $63,000 by the Iowa Democratic Party and $58,000 by the Nevada Democratic Party, according to public records. Neil Haldar, Principal of HALDAR+CO, an app consulting firm, said he would have expected a company to spend at least $150,000 to $200,000 building a “mission-critical app” that can’t fail such as the one built for the Iowa caucuses. Mr. Halder said it was very unusual that Shadow was still completing the app the weekend before the Iowa caucuses. “You have to test that thing six ways to Sunday,” said Mr. Haldar, who didn’t work with Shadow. “If you’re pushing an update the weekend before an event, that’s not normal for mission-critical software.” Tenchusatsu
