So who among you would want Jeffrey Zients' new job?
-
White House enlists Jeffrey Zients to help fix HealthCare.gov I'm not interested in a political discussion here, but just curious how many of you would want to be "tapped" to fix something of this nature. (High risk, high profile, high stress; oh yeah, and if you screw up, you get a phone call from the President.)

Basically sounds like the potential of most of my jobs. If the system is down then if they are not screaming at me it just means they have a lot of self control. But I have just gotten use to ignoring it.

I'd take it. You forgot one important criterion: high reward. And this being government work, you get that regardless of results... (But I suspect that most of us could do a better job anyway)
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Sure why not? It's a win no matter what for him. If he succeeds, "Look what I did!" If he does not "Hey that system was #$%@ from the get go. But I gave it my all!" Either way politically speaking it is a victory. As the saying goes "any publicity is good publicity". And I am sure it pays a pretty penny as well...
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

"He’s an expert in the field of effective management," Carney said, adding the agency would be "tapping his experience and expertise." Oh, so he knows about web technologies? No? He's just a good manager. I see: a total know-nothing wanker who knows how to shout at people? That'll get the job done! This just gets funnier and funnier.
