The dev at Oracle must feel great to have their work labeled as "crap".



As if they didn't already know. Remember -- we are not defined by the shitty hacks we write to pay our rent.


When tickets last that long unfixed, the dev working on it now isn't hurt ;)


It hasn't been an Oracle product forever.

I remember it as Sun. But looking it up, Sun acquired it from something called Innotek GmbH.

I don't get the impression that Oracle is putting a lot of serious engineering effort on the old Sun products, aside from maintenance. Anyone keeping the lights on is probably unlikely to get offended by the thing from 2 layers of acquisition being called "crap".


Maybe if nobody called their code crap, it would be better code?
