It reminds me Amstrad basic. Could it be because of the "Ready" prompt? ;-)

I just joined a company with unlimited PTO. Last week I found out one of my direct reports took less than one vacation week last year. I told the team they had to spend all vacation within the year (22 days). We're all spread in Europe

Last time I checked Ampere cores were not available in the region I wanted. Before jumping in, look first if the Oracle image for ARN is available in the region. This doesn't guarantee you can get cores, but without the image there are

The sold licenses, and yearly maintenance. The subscription model killed the one-off purchase of licenses. Suddenly if you didn't have a subscription like Red hat did, you had to pay a lot in CAPEx plus maintenance. That meant that eve

I worker for a telcon for 15 years. When I left, the company was starting to add load to a new undersea cable. Turns out most of the wet plant (a fancy way to say something is submerged under the water) were HP/UX systems. Submarine ca

I bought several "contact us" style software. Usually their licensing is hard to calculate and you will need to buy more licenses upfront from what you think you need just in case. Worst experience was a reporting tool for telecom

OS Licensing is crazy. Last month I was telling a customer that they should just change their Qlikview system to something else just to avoid paying 25% of their bill to Microsoft.

IMHO Reservations in AWS are good if you have a US Bank Account. Why? Because there is a secondary market (run by AWS) where you can buy and sell reservations. If you have a 1-year project that will have a 1-year extension, then get a 3
