The magnitude of Oracle's incompetence here is really surprising to me, though maybe it shouldn't be. I don't see any real excuse here. Yes, I can believe that in any Enterprise procurement project (which is almost all of what Oracle does), there are conflicting and changing requirements, multiple bosses, the usual mess, and government projects are no exception. But that's not an excuse for building a website that literally doesn't work on a basic technical level. It should respond to requests, display some stuff, and accept what people submit through forms, even if nothing else works. A small-time consulting shop can build a website meeting those requirements! The client or requirements mess can be a legitimate excuse for why your website doesn't really serve the intended use-case, or is confusing, or fails to integrate with an important component, etc., etc. But delivering something that doesn't even run?!
