    Oracle is well known for putting out an extremely expensive product that competitors implement better. It boggles my mind anyone chooses them rather than doing their best to put as many miles between them and the Oralce rep as possible.

      I think it’s basically tech Scientology at this point

      People get indoctrinated as oracle people and then they go around actively advocating for it to other easily manipulated people that don’t know better and take as much money as possible from them.

      Oh yeah and they sue everyone

        Them and IBM. Everything IBM touches turns to shit. They are still hawking mainframes to poor saps that’ll fork over the money on them.
