2377 conditional branches to blank un commented lines in the code he was tasked with and he called it quits.
It is pretty badly coded. And he's been coding for some really big companies since college. He's made his comfortable living and doesn't want this aggravation at this time in his life. Rewriting code for Y2K was easier.
If he's not up to the challenge "at this time in his life," you can be sure that there are younger, equally as sharp (or sharper) programmers who are.
Hahaha In this information age Obama is calling for folks to sign up via phone or in person. Whats next, two cans and some string?
This is progress to the progressives.

I've just spent the last 10 minutes on Healthcare.gov, browsing the platinum plans for a single person, 49 and under, in two states, Florida and Georgia. The site clearly shows the family size/income levels that could qualify for subsidies:
and it also clearly displays the percent of coverage for each of the 5 levels of coverage:
There were at least a dozen platinum plans for both states, ranging from $250-$350 per month.
The site is functioning smoothly, with no wait times or errors.
Healthcare.gov was a very sick site at start-up, but it is becoming more robust with every passing day. Any reports of its demise are greatly exaggerated....
Looks like you just fell for a bunch of lies. CBS said actually cost levels are often much higher than what is shown on the shop and browse feature, sometimes as much as double what's shown.

It stems from the Obama administration's efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.
In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website . .
Wu said it's "incredibly misleading for people that are trying to get a sense of what they're paying."
The numbers for older Americans are even more striking. A 62-year-old in Charlotte looking for the same basic plan would get a price estimate on the government website of $394. The actual price is $634.
Industry executives CBS News spoke with could not believe the government is providing these estimates, which they said were useless and could easily mislead consumers.
I think Cruz and co. would have settled for a 1 year delay. They floated that as a trial balloon all over, and kept saying they wanted Obama to negotiate. We can only guess, but it is very possible that the 1 year delay was their primary strategy.
Now it turns out that Obama would have been better off to take that option. He could have heaped 3 years of blame on Cruz for forcing him into it, and lamented how much better off the nation would be without the delay.
I don't generally buy into the view that Obama is stupid/incompetent. I think he's a sharp guy but just very misguided. However he really did flub this one. He had to have known that he had a major disaster on his hands, and there was Ted Cruz offering a way out that he could have turned into political gold. And he rejected it. Big time flub.
Cruz wanted a 1 year delay because the ACA will fail immediately without the individual mandate. Insurance companies setup premiums based on risks. And if only unhealthy people (especially those with subsidies) for insurance in 2014 and flood them with claims. Insurers will pull out of the market or demand more money from the government.
It's like you know a category hurricane 5 is about to hit land. All the homeowners without hurricane insurance immediately sign up for insurance 1 day before the hurricane hits land. Do you think an insurance company can survive with so many potential claims coming?
I think we should scrap it and double down with Single Payer. What could go wrong?
