Oracle’s grumpy old men
According to Sandy Mamoli, “Oracle people” are a “conservative bunch” and “it is about time to admit that some input from the outside would do no harm”. She also believes that Oracle DBAs and developers come across as “grumpy old men (and women) who oppose change and who want the IT world to remain the same as it was in the 1980s”.
I believe this was part of her response to Niall’s comment that he “strongly disagrees” with the agile development methodology.
Wow! I have been an Oracle developer since 1992 and I still have the urge to learn and try new things all the time. I have never thought of myself as an Oracle conservative nor as a grumpy old man! Have you?
