So who are these "best and brightest" they are bringing in? Surely they are HN readers or an HN reader knows them. Would love to hear about an in depth postmortem. Joking aside, if you are Obama & Co. and your entire administration is hinged on the success of this program, how do you not get the "best and brightest" from the outset to make what you can control about this - the technology component - work? Not to say there is that much complicated technology here. We've known how to make sign-up sheets for a long time. Also, surge protection is also somewhat of a solved problem - just use AWS or one of their competitors. Didn't the Democrats crush the Republicans in their pre-electioneering with a much better system built on AWS? Why didn't they get those guys to do this stuff? Oh well.
