Absolutely. If you don't believe it, perhaps it's because you're caught up in this modern paradigm where you can't pick up a piece of paper without scaffolding and a contingency plan to redesign the floor in case it collapses under the digger and a week-long seminar with 20 consultants to ensure an efficient PRP (Paper Retrieval Process.)

;-)

It's no secret: a couple of dudes assembled a team of 6 that resolved most issues during November 2013, starting with a new scaling model that that took one weekend.

They then spent some months rewriting "professional" pieces created by modern processes, for 2% of the original cost.

You want to know the favorite "modern" development tool they used? Pico, Nano, or one of the similar command line text editors beloved by Linux geeks. I've attached a sample screenshot of this "modern" tool. ;-)

Sample outcome? The original faulty ACA login cost $250 million and would have needed $70 million annually to stay online. The new one cost about $4 million with annual maintenance of less than $1 million.

Doubting Thomases might like to track down a Linux geek and watch how quickly they operate at the command line.
