I was with MySQL AB in its early days, It's codebase and behaviors was much worse than it is now. Yet we had a team of people who loved MySQL and was focused on making it better. I think this is unfortunate culture change in Oracle land - they hire mercenaries rather missionaries to work on the code, so such "I never loved it, but I worked on it for years" is not a surprise. MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL all have skeletons in their closet. Yet if PostgreSQL developer would be leaving with similar attitude community would raise much more to defense
