Showing such a distinct lack of familiarity with the database that you spell it wrong is probably not what you'd want in the press.
But maybe my standards are too high...
- zarzavat 3y agoTechnically it’s not spelled wrong, it’s just incorrect capitalization of “Postgres”. Isn’t it incredible how much information case can convey? For example, if a developer says that they use “XCode” instead of “Xcode”, I trust them much less, God forbid they call themselves an “IOS” developer (Cisco developers excluded).
- smcl 3y agoThey’re talking about the very beginnings of Postgres, so it could be that they knew it was differently capitalised in the early days and couldn’t remember what it was (“POSTGRES”). But if you’re looking for red flags, they let some employees go and want to replace them with AI - that’s a bit more significant than any typo or capitalisations
- justinclift 3y agoIf they haven't noticed the correct spelling in 20+ years then "distinct lack of familiarity" seems fairly apt. ;)
- smcl 3y agoEh I dunno, plenty of reasons someone would make a mistake/typo/whatever - I'm a bit puzzled why a few of you are hung up on that over the rather optimistic deployment of AI, but it doesn't matter I suppose
- mrob 3y agoI trust somebody more if they don't support big corporations breaking standard English for marketing reasons. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter, regardless of what Apple might prefer.
- justinclift 3y ago"Ios" just seems wrong though. ;)
