    That’s a strange move while other companies have already said this doesn’t work and are hiring people back. Of course the people they hire back are H1B contractors at lower rates with less benefits. AI is just an excuse to lower wages.

    In other words Oracle bosses do something very scummy and blame it on AI, hoping people will be angry at it instead of where the blame really lies.

    Your first mistake was working for Oracle. They’ve always been a shit company.

    Did someone over leverage themselves on AI datacentre buildouts paid for with money that doesn’t exist?

    Cry me a river, Larry. I hope you die impoverished.

    Only fools would buy or use Oracle products. They will only ever fuck you over.

    The pricing for the 2038 patch is going to be steep.

    I’m so glad I never pursued Oracle DB as a career, I was considering it at one point in the early 2000s, even went to school. I would have been making a good $100k+ a year instead of struggling along, but at least I still have a soul :P

      I mostly used postgres in my work but we had one master server that had to be oracle for reasons so I took a class. The class mostly taught me that I wanted nothing to do with oracle.

    And then they release a Security Patch Update, but don’t release the patches needed until a week later. So I had a document urging me to install an unavailable patch.
