[ale] Losing PHP Jobs in Atlanta? Growing ASP.NET?

[Jonathan Chum]

BTW, here's the eWeek article I was referring to;

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1651187,00.asp

A quote from the article "Case said he was surprised by how well the system
worked, but Linux became an issue when Combe's Web applications needed a
database, and the only option available to the company was one from Oracle
Corp."

I wonder who ran their IT dept., MySQL and PostGreSQL are two that comes to
mind. :)

Jonathan Chum

a coincidence maybe, a recent google job posting for sys admin asked whether
you can write a large-gigantic script to do all what you did at your prior
position.

Yeah, that works fine . . . until something underneath breaks
(c.f. the joke about the engineer and the $50k chalk mark; $1 for the
mark, $49,999 for knowing where to put it).
