A high end car is 100 million lines of code? My god, that's supposed to be in the car? Or are they talking about the design and manufacturing software / equipment, etc? Well, it's not all Ruby code BTW - apparently RoR is used only for the front end. I imagine there's quite a bit of Cobol code still lurking in those cheapskate criminal thieving lying murderous insurance companies. Marc

That's a joke right? How in the world is that possible?

yeah, right ... "APPARENT" size of ... from the NYT article used as a reference : "According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code. By comparison, a large bank’s computer system is typically about one-fifth that size." :rolleyes:
I'd rather be phishing!

except that the "500M" lines of code is utter BS.

it's not. some jackass made up a number and the media has deemed it a 'fact' that's too good to check.

:omg: :laugh: Wow, and they could have chosen C#. :sigh: I can imagine the glee of the geeks, millions of dollars and probably free reign to champion whatever technologies they wanted. I've worked with Javaheads before, and they are, without exception, a pompous and arrogant group. Erm, you DO code in something other than Java right? Where's the foot-in-mouth icon, should I need one! Marc

I'm a .NET and c++ developer, so Java bashing is right up my alley.

the front end of Healthcare.gov is written in Ruby on Rails? Really?

yes. the front end really isn't very tough. it's the backend stuff that's the hard part: interfacing with all those different govt agencies and insurance carriers.

That explains the mess. They should have reversed it, and let the govt agencies and insurance carriers adjust to them instead.

Well, the whotzitgov thing is obviously a fantasy, but are there really five million lines in the XBox DVD player? Why on Earth would it want a number even approaching that? What does it do that you can't do in a few thousand?
