    My much brainier than me friend was telling me about the courses he was taking to apply to Oracle. I had to break it to him how far down they’ve fallen, and not to expect anything working for them. He’s smart, but not in the right social channels like the Fediverse to see what the real people are saying.

      All of the tech people everywhere know about Oracle. You’d have to be actively avoiding the info, or be coming in from a completely different subculture at this point.

        He’s been so deeply invested in code itself and cloistered in Udemy courses. Trust me, I know how it sounds.

        He really doesn’t communicate with others in the business, which right now I think is his downfall. No connections.

        He’s the “no distractions and dive into paid resources” type of learner and I’m the “scour the web and find news and free resources” type of learner, but I’m easily distracted.
