Software development and Romney's loss

A couple of good articles about the Romney campaign's snazzy new GOTV tool, Orca, which went down in a blaze of glory, much like the iconic picture of his blimp, but for entirely predictable reasons: insufficient testing, apparently in part because of a misplaced urge to centralization and secrecy, and way insufficient user training, along with some operational foulups (sending out incorrect passwords to users, etc.)  It was a fiasco in every sense of the term.

It was downright corporate.
