Isn't that what some of your old Sun compatriots thought with DSSD? :)
Congrats on the announcement, here's hoping you're right! This looks too interesting to be swallowed by Oracle or HPe.
- bcantrill 5y agoFortunately, some of those same DSSD folks have joined us at Oxide -- and let's just say that they are of like mind with respect to Oxide's approach. ;)
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoSee, my immediate reaction was that Oxide is by Sun people who are still scarred by that acquisition; they'll fight tooth and nail to avoid a repeat and if it did get forced through there would be an immediate and complete exodus.
- bcantrill 5y agoWell, that one too. Honestly, one of the consequences of having a team consisting mostly (but not entirely!) of industry vets: we've collectively seen a lot of shit. In fact, a topic I would never want to bring up among Oxide employees: who has had an acquisition in their career gone the worst? There are just too many contenders, which itself is a sad commentary on the industry!
