What's funny about Oracle is like, most tech companies, people probably feel *skeevy* about, but also most tech cos have done 1 thing you Like. Lots of people love their Apple products. You might be annoyed at Google right now but there was probably a time they made you happy in some way. Microsoft? People do like XBoxes. OpenAI has fans!

But NOBODY interacts with Oracle on purpose. Even coders don't *pick* Oracle. There's no brake on you just *resenting* Larry Ellison.

@mcc I used to think Oracle and Ellison had at least earned respect for making some very good database implementations, but this looks like it at least counteracts whatever was left of that.

(The one time I used any Oracle products it was enterprise servers chosen by a third-party provider, and it seemed no worse than the rest of the enterprise market)
