There goes another good one!

Great! Yet another example of how a great smaller company sells its essence to this idea killer, job killer, innovation enemy and freedom stopper monster of a company.

Apache Kafka will be lucky to get anything good out this deal. The future will again belong to and be controlled by the few. Anyone remembers a great little company that gave so much to the community called RedHat? Yeah, that company!

Well, not entirely true….

Because at some point you need to plug the cable to some patch panel or whatever. So, that claim that this is the end of pluggable cables is toral bull crap to sell over priced crap that at some point soon will be a loss once this whole bullshit AI fever comes to a sweet loving end. CAN HARDLY WAIT!

Here it comes….

CEO says: “I would rather our people are thinking about the next big thing, not syntax.” I hear: LAYOFFS by the shitload

Monopolies and regimes always win

Folks, this goes to show you that once again once you tie yourself to a monopoly you will be held by the nuts. History shows this over and over and yet here we are a company taken over and making even more money. People love to be abused and come back for more even when shown the truth.

YATEM?

I compiled it instead and to me other than the fact that it has a config file, this brings nothing new or that I even have a need for. Split term windows? Yeah, Terminator already does that LONG AGO!

A toy? Yes! Anything to call home about? Absolutely NOT!

It's not the TTY that makes the admin/dev good or bad. As long as you can type shit and get shit back, that's all for me.

Yep, he's screwed

Who in the US hasn't been screwed by a company? Working in the US is just a matter if time before someone either doesn't pay you or uses you like a rag and then fires you when they find some fresh meat I've been f****Ed and been treated unfairly by many employers as an IT guy it's pretty much expected. You need to develop a sense of resiliency and a thick skin knowing that at any moment your job can be cut. Always ready always looking has been my motto. I've been locked out of my admin account first thing Monday and all my shit stolen (scripts, files, etc). But at no time was I ever SO DAMN STUPID to even think about doing something like this or even try it. Let alone to a company that has just as many lawyers as they do employees! This cat is the definition of blind, stupid, arrogant and ignorance IT dude who's mindset is somewhere in the 2000's when you could get away with shit like this!!!

What a total imbecile believing he was going to get back at them and get off Scott free. Because of his stupidity he deserves everything they give him!! IDIOT!

Here’s a bigger issue….

What if this “emperor” jackass gets run over by a truck one day? What then? This guy’s grip on all of this is what may eventually bring the whole thing down. So, here in the “west” we despise authoritarianism and despots (we know who) yet this is allowed! In what’s become a key part of the function web and daily lives of people. Has anyone ever thought about this and what if any contingencies should be made? I predict that this cat one day is gonna blow a fuse for good and go nuts or just drop dead from so much rage and fear of losing control. GET HIM OUT before he screws up this shit!

Wait, what?

Screw them then. Next time just post the damn thing somewhere and let them get screwed. This is what happens when good people try to the right thing. No more mr nice guy!

Same should and MUST be said of Linux and the myriads of absolutely worthless and useless distributions that exist. I mean why does "the world" need 5 flavors of the same distro's release so that people can have any desktop manager they want under the sun???

Do people go to distrowatch and simply flip a coin and take their pick for today's install?

This point has come to Linux wayyy before it even hit Windows. If you want to speak about bloated, then you must always start with the Linux ecosystem for the past 20 or so years.

The world needs STABILITY!!! commitment and longevity. Yes, we do not need (not sure about want) another version of ANYTHING!!!!!

Some advice based on my experience

#1 Stakeholder, end user and employee engagement are critical at every stage of the process.

#2 Always request a full featured POC driven by the ultimate process owner.

#3 Start small in both scope and license count.

#4 Always ensure you have support and develop a solid relationship with at least one of the engineers. Befriend them.

#5 Educate your vendors and provide as much insight into your internal processes as it is allowed.

#6 Think about tomorrow when deciding to lock-in with a vendor.

#6 Is there a possibility for OSS alternatives?

#7 But always calculate your ROI and listen to your engineers.
