Why would that be odd? Look at it from a sales perspective, how many more people will buy this is there is a linux application (LA) and how much will it cost to build and support (…

Is this book saying only use opensource OR is it saying only use open standards? If the latter, what does that mean exactly?

You did not understand the question.

I didn't see any racism defence. I saw wrong think get punished.

A small number of people in history have done something useful with their free time so you think we should pay everyone in the hope that more people take up coding and writing? Why…

There's nothing odd about that. Check out one of the many doccos from the UK where people on benefits don't want to work and do fuck all to enrich themselves or society whilst not …

You're also vile. If you weren't vile you wouldn't call someone a sack of shit because they hurt your feelings on the internet. You've literally removed the humanity of someones fa…

Good lord you're a cunt.

It was the first 7 years of my career - not my whole career. Of course there is a large amount of lock in, how else would it work? You're modelling every business process on softwa…

I doubt you have a way to do anything significant.

"SQL doesn't"... you are correct, SQL can't figure out how much tax you need to pay across 9 tax jurisdictions. SQL can't tell me the best way for my warehouse picking robots to mo…

Which SAP product did you compete with?

"SAP" isn't a product either, it's a company name. When certain people talk about SAP they actually mean R3 or ECC. R3 is dead and the sun is setting on ECC which is being replaced…

SO what ERP system are you using? What do you sell? How do you manufacture? How do you handle inventory and finances? You're either using SAP and you don't know it or you're using …

Not a big fan of your comments but I really don't like the fact you're being censored.

But what about hanging around the water cooler so I can colab on some random ideas I overheard!!! my whole go to market and product strategy depends on this!!!! - Some anti-WFH per…

downvoted for the truth? OP claimed I should not care about fake nappies - why would I want a fake if it's something I've ordered that sits against my kids skin? HN is full of fuck…

Tell us more about Spain. I'm considering moving there from Australia as my wife loves Europe. I'm a principal architect in my 30's mainly doing Java / ecommerce / web and pre-sale…
