If I had a dollar for every time IBM disappointed me, I would buy IBM and turn it into a company that sells dildos and fake poop so their product would be more up front and direct.

I'm working with a company that is owned by IBM for my current project at work and this rant is so fucking relevant. I wish I could ++ twice.

I worked at a place that used IBM for everything and their reasoning for using them over faster open source alternatives was because of the support. What support?? They never responded in a timely manner and for how much it cost the company for support they could've hired 3 or 4 full time employees to support open source alternatives...

Good ole "I've Been Misled"
