      Good. Larry Ellison does not appear to be a force for good in the world. Steve Jobs had negative things to say about him and his obsession with increasing his billions.

          Because they have a series of ERP systems and services that some idiot CTO at the company looks at and goes: Yes, give me one of those.

          Then once you’re on that, you get pulled into more and more Oracle ecosystem shit and you think some day you’ll have control and be able to get out. But you never do.

          Oracle is like the loanshark of the tech industry.

          Once you’re in, you’re in for life. Good fucking luck getting out.

            It’s the only way to get a pay rise. You have to work with the idiots or they don’t give you any money.

            The problem is the people in charge are not the people that should be in charge. I suppose it’s my fault for not getting an MBA.

        I’ve been telling my employer that they should be moving away from the Microsoft cloud for a whole bunch of reasons. Someone said they’re aware of it, so with the speed stuff here is moving, we might actually move to something else in 10 years.

        But personally I wouldn’t lose any sleep if the whole bubble collapsed next year.
