Over the past few weeks, several US banks have pulled off from lending to Oracle for expanding its AI data centres, as per a report.

What does Oracle even do?
Charge people who accidentally used their Java SDK.
Create a db that sucks so bad you have to hire them to maintain it.
I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years now and tbh I couldn’t tell you even if my life depended on it. I know it’s a shit tier hosting service that people use because they offer 5$ worth virtual server for free with a valid credit card but that’s about it.
It’s one of those ancient paper shuffling IT companies that is 95% sale/middle mamager leeches, 5% wizard engineers carrying everything on their shoulders.
Sounds a lot like IBM.
At least IBM used to be cool and gave us things like SQL, DRAM and Thinkpads. Other than Java kits I couldn’t name a single useful initiative from Oracle. They just take existing inventions and shuffle enterprise papers.
Used to be cool…you might want to look a little bit further into IBMs past, specifically what they were doing during WW2…
All is justified if it gave us Thinkpad 🙂↕️
Is this hyperbole? I really doubt someone can be a SWE for even 2 years and not know what oracle does…
They sell software that sits so deep in people’s stack that replacing it takes tons of effort. Companies calculate that it’s cheaper to keep paying Oracle than to rewrite crucial services.
DATACENTERs apparently, especially for AI.
Sues their customers
