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.

3 daysI’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.

That’s good, I guess? Most businesses who license Oracle should see their rates go down considerably. Right? /s

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.
