I think the same, we are headed for the tech version of the Dark Ages, all with feudalism. The corporations will be the feudal lords, because they have more capital than most of the countries in the world. I'm just wondering how will c

I think even Microsoft has abandoned SQL Server and spends more time improving their various Postgres Azure offerings. Their last major version release since 2022 added some AI features and thats it. As a DBA, who does a lot of very heavy D
