While I completely agree with the sentiment, there are 100 million reasons why it will never happen. Having dealt with Oracle for over 20 years, I have seen their predatory relationship with their customers. They will hold onto this trade

Perhaps just me still carrying some latent trauma, but the upside down, legs bent moment reminded me of a picture from 9/11. Not going to link to it.

Rather than call the Amazon execs liars and sadists perhaps consider that the senior execs (Andy and his directs) believe that they are responsible for crafting a successful company. It is far more plausible that they believe that while it

This makes me think of that show from Japan where parents send their 5-year-olds to go grocery shopping on their own. And reminds me of the many times friends and I rode our bikes 5 miles along the highway to the next town so we could play

I am willing to pay to have the physical interface built if anyone with the machinist/electrical engineering skills is interested. My vision is to have the screen and button interface built, with a Raspberry Pi powering it. Reply if

I agree that this is not a move I am happy to see. I hope I am proven wrong. I have been struggling with my love of Twilio. For years they have been one of my favorite tech companies, but I have been really struggling with them and their

On many United flights you can connect to onboard wifi without buying the plan and have internet access on port 22 and apparently unrestricted UDP. This allows me to connect to an EC2 instance running mosh. Coding in vim is a great way to

In my experience, the “predictable deliveries” delivered by agile are based on behavior changes induced by the methodology. Specifically, focusing on stable point velocity per sprint focuses the team on creating sprint plans that safely de

Reading this comment makes me want to say “OK Boomer” for the first time (I am an old Gen X person). I can’t think of a single time since the 80’s that a Mellencamp song has had any value or impact. CCR songs keep surfacing in interesting

One constant in my 20+ year tech career is: Never trust Oracle, work to eliminate their presence wherever possible. They consistently prove themselves to be predatory and extortionist in all transactions. Want proof: Ask them if you can co
