I actually blame California cost of living for stagnation of database industry. I know many smart people in SF and LA, who created great open-source projects as a hobby. After a few years this project matures, and it would be great time

Startups in SF (and LA) do usually web related stuff. They also want to be acquired by larger company such as Facebook or Google. In that case SF makes sense. But that is just tiny part of startup ecosystem. I started company with my own s

And thats why SF is no longer relevant for startups. I work for db startup, and most of stuff is happening outside of California (Europe, Texas...).

Many large corporations already implemented 'Programmer Anarchy'. Having 15 bosses is very similar to having none :-)

I read the email thread. Sarah asks to be polite on mailing list, because there is no feedback, and author can not know how it was taken. Latter she talks about karate and beating opponent when he is down. There is really nothing about sexi

So basically she implies he is a racist? Is not this even worse abuse than initial Linus rant?

My impression is that Linus shouts at everyone. Where the sexist comes from?

You would see it differently, if you would know CVS :-)

Try Lubuntu or Debian. Windows XP can not even be installed on many systems today (no cd, no internet access, no time to search drivers..)

This 'simplicity' changes quickly into hairball of scripts if anything non-trivial is requested.

I work on java db engine. C/C++ and Java developers have completely different mind set. Where C guy is doing bite-wise operations Java guy will implement separate object for each pixel. It is rare to see tightly optimized java code. I

Working remotely requires some investments: dedicated room for office, good chair, conference set. Most people just try to code on sofa at living room, and fail.

My startup works on free alternative (apache licensed) db engine. When I saw title I was really woried they would change license to more liberal. That would affect our future sales seriously. But this is great new for us! :-)
