  • I have been around since production servers were predominantly HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX. I settled on Vi because it was the one common editor that was preinstalled on every *NIX OS, including Linux and you could jump right into edit mode while reading a file without having to exit the preview first.

    Nano is fine, but one you’ve gone through the pain of committing Vi to muscle memory, there’s no point to switch.

    The myth of Steve Jobs needed the actual genius of others to exist. Steve’s gift to the world was recognizing and pointing out actual gifts tonthe world that would have otherwise gone unoticed or not brought to their full potential.

    If Steve was still around, he would have taken Ronald’s idea and had it rebuilt with a little polish and an exorbitant price tag.










  • Oracle is the choice if you need a high performance RDBMS capable of processing extreme amounts of data at extreme io rates. Nothing comes close for enterprise level applications. THAT SAID, it requires a special kind of individual to be able to get the most out of it. Even better if that person knows of the existence, value, and use of the many undocumented v$ tables, etc.

    Once you can migrate most of your data out of an RDBMS, you options open up significantly.

    For smaller projects. Oracle makes no sense, unless the expectation is vast and rapid growth.

    EDIT: Oracle is the most evil corporation in tech. Those who know, know.
