Nice analogy... if you want a real world example of this happening, consider the storage facilities for fine wine in Manhattan-- flooded during hurricane Sandy
For (largely unexplained) reasons the storage facilities still won't allow the customers access to (or even look at) the wine they're supposedly storing...

Comment Re:200+ == Mass Production? Really????? (Score 1) 109

It's mass production when the resources required for development and testing are much smaller than the sales.

For instance, reliability testing for something as complicated as a cell phone should require tens or even hundreds of units. Electrical testing, certifications, developer's units, demos, bench units, betas, it all adds up, and I'd be very surprised if the minimum number isn't in the hundreds. You can always scrimp on testing to save on development cost, but that tends to be a result in (severe) quality problems.

I have no experience building anything at the scale of healthcare.gov, but surely lots of folks here do. Slashdot seems like the place to ask-- what went wrong, and what is to be done about it? Can the website be made to work, or are we headed for a long slog of diminished expectations?
