I'm not real thrilled with their use of Oracle as an example... If you've used Oracle you've probably done it wrong is kind of a mantra for me, anyway.

- sliverstorm 13y agoThat seems like a rather conceited thing to say.
- malandrew 13y agoNot really. Have you ever worked on projects outsourced to Oracle, IBM or similar large company? The project managers are total PMP dopes that know fuck all about software engineering. People get promoted to those positions because they are political. Not because they know what they are doing. Back in my big corp life from 5-6 years ago, I witnessed several multi-million dollar train wrecks. They were the epitome of sunk costs fallacies. Oracle and IBM both have great developers working on products that are core technology that both those companies sell, but their software engineering consulting and project management is atrocious. There is a reason why companies like Thoughtworks exist. TW and similar firms come in to clean up the messes started by the Oracles and IBMs of the world.
