- hgsgm 4y agoReliability makes the system and team bigger.
- dmix 4y ago$2 billion is an insane amount of money even for a major gov software project And even after $2B it was completely broken and late and required another year and hundreds of millions. I get the feeling people see thousands of millions of dollars as some abstract thing. You could build an A+ team with 1/100th that cash. Yet it still ends up sucked down a blackhole that's only designed to consume more money. And there's zero consequences for failure. The same few contractors will get the contract next time.
