| Hmm. OK, here: #1: Understand the customer! In this case it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Ignagni
(They lobbied a congressman from Chicago w/ donations to elect, and Republican side is pissed their side did not get more.) In EU, it tends to be written for the people, but in USA, it's the lobbyists as customers. #2: You can't fix political problems with software! For example we can make the problem 10 times less by allowing each state to manager Healthcare and compete for residents. Like Massachusetts.
It's a fools errand. But you can milk the feds if you bribe the right official. #3. You won't find good and un-employed engineers! Not in SV anyway. A - type engineers are ~ $240K and up. Y-combinator is mostly n00b growth hackers, not expereinced coders. Plus the rumor is that you have to be loyal to the party of New Democrats as the main req, not software systems. #4. I heard it's written in .NET and Oracle Access Manager. A requirement? That's not what google plus, facebook or iTunes use or such use. I don't want to code w/ those people that use that stack ( but I would have a great time w/ them after 5pm, they tend to be nice people ). Kalvin and Brandon: The most patriotic thing to do is to not try and catch a falling knife so that each state can have a system they own - and we can move to a state that has a good one. Party greetings to you. |
