    Only fools would buy or use Oracle products. They will only ever fuck you over.

    The pricing for the 2038 patch is going to be steep.

      Yes they laid these folks off for the express purpose of funding more datacenter buildouts because they were not funding banks willing to to loan them the capital.

    I’m so glad I never pursued Oracle DB as a career, I was considering it at one point in the early 2000s, even went to school. I would have been making a good $100k+ a year instead of struggling along, but at least I still have a soul :P

      I mostly used postgres in my work but we had one master server that had to be oracle for reasons so I took a class. The class mostly taught me that I wanted nothing to do with oracle.

    And then they release a Security Patch Update, but don’t release the patches needed until a week later. So I had a document urging me to install an unavailable patch.

    In other words Oracle bosses do something very scummy and blame it on AI, hoping people will be angry at it instead of where the blame really lies.

    The reverse should be hilarious. Anyone reading this applying for jobs there should not take a fucking offer below premium, because that’s what they are trying to do.
