Despite the amazing dysfunction at red hat described by suspicious dish and others I was seriously considering applying there. Rip indeed. (This isn't some ethical objection against IBM or whatever, this is me not wanting to board a sinking ship)

Sapozhnik posted:(This isn't some ethical objection against IBM or whatever, this is me not wanting to board a sinking ship) on the one hand, it is almost certainly not a "sinking ship" -- red hat is much healthier than ibm, and presumably ibm wished to use their vast cash reserves and great stock to purchase a firm with a more viable business model but less cash and stock value on the other hand, well, i will quote myself from another yospos thread: Notorious b.s.d. posted:you never know

I couldn't tell you what IBM does these days other than "fire old people". I know the answer is something like "professional services" or whatever but man thats so depressing, what a fall.

How are db2 sales going? My old company was considering making it the standard DB in the org but then 30 seconds later made the sane decision to use MS SQL Server instead.

They still got service contracts with the US govt right? Must be getting money to research Hot Trends (second life, blockchain, etc) from somewhere. That’s assuming that there is any substance to their research activities other than a flagpole that they run buzzwords up to see if the analysts salute Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Oct 29, 2018 |
