Lazer Technologies and TribalScale have announced that hackathons held over the Thanksgiving long weekend successfully reproduced clones of the app
that total spending on creating and maintaining the ArriveCan app is on pace to exceed $54-million this year, which is more than double what the government had recently said was spent.
“Having built over 100 different apps at Lazer for some of the most exciting companies in the world, it was shocking for us to see the total amount of capital that was spent to design, create, launch, and maintain the ArriveCan app,” said Lazer co-founder Zain Manji in an“We understand that building technology at a federal level for the entire country and for such crucial areas is no easy task - especially in a successful and seamless manner with so many different stakeholders involved.
“Of course we know that an app like ArriveCan cannot actually be taken from idea to release in a weekend. However, we hope this demonstrates that there are extremely talented engineers, designers, product managers, and consultants out there who are capable of delivering outstanding work in an efficient manner.
“For two days of work, it looks great so far,” said Mr. Hyatt, who was not involved in the hackathon but was among the Canadian tech leaders who spoke out against the government’s $54-million price tag. He said there would still be additional “heavy lifting” required for such an app to be ready to launch by the government. “The front end app is pretty straight forward,” he said.
