So with TK gone who is actually running the development organization and how is it working out compared to the old TK days?

How long till he gets sued by google employees for being an abusive A:hole? 3 or 6 months?
I'll be surprised if TK lasts in his new job - talk about a square peg in a round hole, but who knows, Google looks to have lost it's moral compass recently.
So because the people TK hired were incapable of making decision on their own - easier to micromanage that way - the org is now completely paralyzed. May just as well sh-- it down and save the cost. Honestly surprised there have not been major cost cuts, ie layoffs in Dev since TK left. What a juicy target for S.C. and MH
So seriously - TK used to micro manage every key (and not so key) decision for products he deemed important. “TK mandates” were driving people nuts and causing havoc with any plan or schedule. How has that changed? Do teams have more freedom to do what is actually right? I can’t imagine that LJE is spending a lot of time doing hands on management.
Autonomous. Autopilot set to CRASH!
@WcfdGSO-jvfj Would phrase "s---er for punishment" mean anything to you?
I used to work under TK at Oracle so have been trying to get a job under him at Google. They haven't responded at all.
So who IS actually running things? LE hands on? Or who? If strategy is NOT the TK idea to run on other clouds, Oracle needs real cloud?
Things better or worse?
Oracle is like the old Soviet Union. The employees pretend to work, and the company pretends to pay them. :-))
Who know what CIO doing?
In Soviet Russia (Oracle), Autonomous runs development!
oracle development is autonomous ...
hahahahahahaha! No developers needed anymore! They are obsolete!!
oracle development is autonomous ...
Whoever runs dev has to deal with the 25 million lines of c code for 18c db and growing. It's just a lethargic, massive, monolithic piece of software. It really should be decoupled and rewritten but that would take time and money that Oracle doesn't have. By going cheap in development, they ended up with such a piece of spaghetti code that it would take years to detangle.
LE is running engineering. He will make some key hires but the big thing is that he is going to have to open the checkbook if he is to compete with the other major cloud vendors. Without investment, it's just hot air, smoke, and mirrors.
So in other words nobody is running development and nothing new is happening - which, of course, makes tons of sense, because it’s not like the competition is doing anything. LOL!
Gravity. It is slowly and surely pulling the database to the (under)ground.
So now you got co-CEOs and co-not-really-CTOs? Sounds like a dream environment. More losses will ensue to pay for erroneous judgements. I cannot imagine the LE of the 1990s doing this. It is tough to get old and try to seem youthful.
It is essentially running itself. Mostly into the ground.
Kurian’s old org has been broken up. Some parts moved under ES, others now report directly to Larry.
