Comments

Paging HN user brandonb and 'a bunch of other Google, Facebook, and Y Combinator alums' -- did this exist while you worked on the site?

We weren't involved with this specific part of the site but folks are on it!

(I wrapped up my involvement several months ago, but others helping out with this open enrollment period.)

folks are on it!

Am I correct in thinking that the cheery use of passive voice means you're under quite a serious NDA?

There is an NDA but I used "folks" since I, personally, have returned to the startup world and am not involved in the details of fixing this particular incident. But yes, rest assured that the people who currently work on healthcare.gov are busy testing a fix, which is why they're not posting on HN.
