I understand why people keep using oracle, but i have never understood why anyone starts.
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.
Because their data centers are run by clowns, and going to the circus is an improvement
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.
In the modern day, I agree. Dunno about 30 years ago.
