Widenuis was livid about the way that the MySQL 5.1 release happened which he thought was incomplete and loaded with bugs. Sun countered that Widenuis was entitled to his opinion, but in their view MySQL 5.1 was a solid release.
I've been working with SpringSource code lately, and this seems to be a common issue. If your business model depends on selling "Enterprise level support", making the user experience easy and bug-free just isn't in your interests...
- jacquesm 18y agoMySQL historically had a very good reputation for fixing bugs and taking care of the users when they first started out, but as their focus shifted taking care of the users became less of a priority. The weird thing is the bugs that Monty claims were 'riddling 5.1' were there for a lot longer than they should have been anyway, plenty of them predated the buyout by SUN.
- twoz 18y agoPerhaps it was thought that the long list of bugs would finally get the attention they needed after the Sun buyout. It's now been a while since the buyout and I'm sure more than one person is a little frustrated with the way things have turned out at this point; for better or for worse.
- lallysingh 18y agoI finished a job using Spring as the core. Ugh, never again. Yes, yes, they completed the impossible feats of parsing XML and using reflection to call getters and setters. Good for them. It is not enough to do serious work. I spent the last 6 months trying to find ways to sandbox that toy and get stuff done.
