Easy target and way of deflecting from systemic causes. I’d guess.

I didn’t link to their LinkedIn profiles or name them. My whole point is that it’s not right to blame the dev’s or shadow.

I didn’t link out of respect for their privacy. They are just junior. The reason this was dumped on them was we aren’t funding the work right, nor providing enough mentoring and help before they were asked to build the app.

Yeah, they were great and it's wonderful how many different tech teams embraced them with good jobs following the campaign.

And you think me talking about the way the party leadership funds its technology infrastructure isn't a discussion about leadership?

Well probably a lot more, like 1700 X the number of candidates who got at least one caucuser, so max 20k rows. Hardly big data.

Folks like and , and many others have documented why digital voting systems are a broken concept. There is is no way to do it securely. Use paper, use people, verify, audit, make it transparent to all the campaigns. Force the media to wait for results.

You could have done a system with google docs and having multiple people send in pictures of the tallies at each polling place. Or any number of other solutions which requires less software. There’s a whole field of lean startups dedicated to solving the problem with less code.

Focus on the problem, not the solution of an app which sounds cool. The Iowa Democratic Party shouldn’t have asked for an app. The media shouldn’t have hailed it as futuristic, we shouldn’t demand immediate electoral results, and shadow shouldn’t have tried to build it.

What should have been done? The app shouldn’t have been built. This didn’t require an app. There are lots of ways to submit and verify vote counts without needing a custom app. At least they kept the paper backup. The sexy desire to have an app is something we should avoid.

Startup projects mostly fail, tech projects mostly fail. The existing vendors are fine, good people doing important work, but their incentives are aligned towards 'industry capture' and not transformative problem solving.

And yes it's mostly the same stuff each cycle. There are companies and non-profits like actblue, ngpvan, blue state, etc which exist between cycles. It's not enough and if couldn't fix it, who can?

The Clinton campaign did open source a bunch of stuff, Obama did some too. But you need a way to sustain that work and update it. Progcoders and Ragtag are both communities which could, but even their core people are volunteer. You need money to fund coordination.

Capitalism is a bigger problem, beyond the scope of democratic party campaign tech. ;-D

Yeah, it's also one of the most needed. ActBlue does an incredibly good job at product market fit. It does it well, and gets out of the way. And with the tip jar style of payments, aligns well with the campaigns and supporters. ActBlue also offers competitive salary & benefits

I'm a big fan of ActBlue, hell, i even applied for a job hoping work on it in late 2017 to help on the 2018 cycle. It's a compliment to say a company or org does one thing really well.

I like them a lot, i worked with them when i was part of the project. They provide a fantastic service, they support themselves, but nobody's getting wealthy or i suspect even making enough to buy a house in New York or SF.

I think Action Network is great, provides a wonderful service to so many movement and union groups. It took some AFL-CIO funding to get it started and still is not throwing off cash to invest in building lots of new products. You're running on a lean and efficient staff.
