I'm part of a small team of expats from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix healthcare.gov. (Mostly Stanford, Google, YCombinator folks) We've learned a ton, and see an opportunity to create software that radically improves how our government serves its people - we've started our company, Nava, to chase that vision. In the last 6 months, we've launched 2 major projects: - App 2.0, the new insuran…

Let me get this straight. We spent hundreds of millions of dollars buiding a bad website. You then get hired to fix it. Again paid by taxpayer dollars. Now you are running a private company that will benefit greatly from this work. And, presumably, the company has investors who will now ride a sweet ride to massive profits because of all of the above. I hope I am wrong. I hope 100% of your work was funded privately.…

The story of healthcare.gov is that one set of federal contractors totally messed it up, and that another group of folks managed to get it back on track. It's not reasonable to claim that the latter group is somehow profiting unethically from the failure of the former.

> Unpaid Internships Available Don't do this. It's exploitative and extremely classist, even if not intentionally. I'm also wondering what the quality of interns you could get given that most tech companies actually pay their interns pretty well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reboot -- you make no sense. Private contractors are hired all the time by the Government. They did work, delivered something of quality, and got paid for it. It's not thievery at all.

Let's say you own a company. You hire a group of programmers to come in and fix or develop some code. You pay them a lot of money for this work. When they are done they use the code YOU PAID FOR to form a company, attract investors and go into business.

That is theft.

Is this company using code and tools developed with taxpayer money to now profit? Are investors going to profit from something that we paid for and should rightfully be in the public domain.

What I said makes complete sense provided the scenario I painted is correct.

What would it look like to not be considered theft? Something like this: The government needs help fixing the Obamacare website. A group of investors gets together to fund the required work. They compete for the contract with others. One wins the contract. They offer their services at a reasonable cost. The government stipulates that all software developed under this contract will be open source and in the public domain. The company completes the work. Now it can apply for a contract to maintain and enhance the codebase. And so can anyone else. We, the taxpayers, paid for the code and own it. We did not pay to fund a for profit company that would then hild us hostage, have a monopoly based on what should be a public open source code base and create millions of dollars of profit for investors who did not fund the development of that code and took none of the risk.

For all I know these folks are on the level. If that's the case I apologize with all sincerity. Still, I would like to see a statement clarifying whether or not a substantial portion of their now-commercial code base was paid for with taxpayer dollars under "war emergency" conditions and if they are effectively stealing what should be owned by the people of the US in order to form the foundation of a company that is probably going to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars per year with a virtual monopoly. I'd like to see that question answered.
