@1e8 what are you talking about? SM team? Lazy burgers what? The BCM group is an excellent team that's focused on real time critical customer solutions. I understand saltiness but why celebrate people getting laid off just because I like my work? Unity is all C which is challenging but super fun to work on
@1c2 oh that’s the SM team or something. Did they finally merge the products and teams? Lazy Burgers were working on it for more than two years.
Regardless, this product also causes issues on Lake so my position doesn’t change, it needs to go to trash.
@17k are you going to ignore the 10 or so people in San Diego that are working on it's development? Or that all of BCMs management is in the USA? There is a shadow team and the QA for Unity is India but there is certainly an American side team that's just hired a few new engineers
@d8 false. The team is in India, there is no way we are hiring in USA now.
Also, BCM is not that great as you say. I’ve personally worked on implementing it and it’s a pain in the wrong place. My customer stopped the implementation after spending a year on it, waiting for defect fixes.
@d8 is the Unity team in the USA still? I thought that team was overseas mostly
@d6 You're probably in sales so you might not know about the underlying tech. BCM is stable it has rigorous unit tests and CI/CD integration. There is no way it'll just "blow up" on a customer it has a ton of recovery fallbacks you can read about in the public documents, this is a team that is being brought back onshore. The entire BCM/Unity group is in the USA. That said I would consider the tool to be exotic but once the customers know how to use it, they will see it's stable. The unity of today is not the same as the one that was mothballed years back. If you don't mind me asking what was the tool your customers jumped for?
Unity was a bust for one of my customers. We sold them the dream and it was just junk. In the end they went with a 3rd party CDC tool which worked way better at 1/4 the price
I still don't see what's wrong with Unity, yeah it's complex but keeping two sites perfectly in sync is challenging but it's no worse than any other TD product
What the he-l are you talking about?
