Colleague: "IBM: Infamous Brotherhood of Motherfuckers"

I like that one 😂

100% correct.

why??

@tinybyte this friday we discovered, that our db2 instances, that run on aix aren't running on the vm cluster, but on powerpc cores

The ntp on these fuckers run out of sync randomly but often

Updating is utter madness according to our dba. Thus we don't even have python 2.7
Therefore using ansible to maintain the env is a pain.
Oh and LDAP? AIX won't let you talk to that...

We also have to deal with websphere application servers and mqs

The guys, who wrote the shell scripts deserve a serious beating, bestcase with a printed version of the file system hierarchy standard and the output of man hier of almost any professionally used distro

These people built a tool that is called imcl or something like that. This runs on sles, but neither on debian nor centos. It doesn't come with a help flag, a debug mode or a man page

A year ago i had to strace this program to find out, what the problem is... Fucking enterprise ...
