LOL. Iowa Dems are blaming a “coding issue” for why their app crashed during yesterday’s caucuses:
NEW statement from @iowademocrats — "While the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. We have determined that this was due to a coding issue in the reporting system." pic.twitter.com/kOXdcvggoe

It’s time for all the “learn to code jokes”:
Who knew "learn to code" would become so prophetic? https://t.co/GrtJxx2J02

You’d think this would come up:
These mooks didn't even try a stress test before the caucus. "Partial data reporting due to a coding error" is the sort of thing THAT WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP IN A PRACTICE RUN. https://t.co/XDCsYtl3k8

And apparently, it did. But concerns were ignored:
MSNBC just reported that it was tested and concerns were ignored.

You’d think they’d learn this on Day 1 of coding school:
that is somehow even worse if true.

Anyway, it does remind us of a sitcom, but much funnier:
Why does this remind me of Jerry Seinfeld at the rental car counter? https://t.co/MnPPiXEgF8

For the Seinfeld reference above:
"See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them."https://t.co/Gt67J5xOYd
