Omg, wtf is up with Link's arse? Is that some 'improved' horse saddle invented by Mr. Garrison from South Park or what is that shit?

I hate to admit it, but I do work with Oracle Apex quite a bit. 15 years of experience to be precise. I've created several big applications with it which are running in production right now.

And still, if I had the choice I'd avoid it like the plague. This is 100% vendor lock in with very little benefit.

The only reason I'm using it is because it was already in use when I came into the picture and there was some know how in the team already. But guess what, those people left and now I'm the only one who really knows what's going on and has meaningful knowledge and experience in PLSQL, which you absolutely need if you want to create anything non trivial with Apex.

And of course finding people who actually know PLSQL at the level required to maintain those systems is very'hard. Who is going to learn an archaic procedural language which will only ever work within an Oracle database? Nobody within their right mind.

We tried introducing several rookies into this - all of them run away.

Another big reason to avoid it is that if you ever have the need to do something which is outside of what the generator accounts for, you will be fighting the framework constantly to still make it work and pray to the gods that no Apex update will break whatever you had to hack in.

There is really no reason any sane company should introduce this. It is not cheap. It is not easy outside of trivial things. The vendor lock in is huge.

Avoid!

Sure buddy.

Yeah, that's one of the perplexing things going on with right wing nationalists in basically all countries. You'd think they'd be all in into generating our fucking own energy and using it ourselves instead of sending money over to mostly the Middle East. But no, they're all into fossil fuels - even in countries which have absolutely no such resources and need to import everything 100%.

But that's the thing with such people, thinking is not their strong suit.

I hate it to break it to you, but buddy, you are the neighbours that are crazy unstable. Your people shoot each other in the face constantly.

And Trump absolutely does have access to missiles he very well might be pointing at your ass at some point.

It's hilarious that there are people from the US who would think that you're serious.

Just recently I followed a discussion where multiple Americans thought 'we are the champions' is an American song and obviously about America.

"Biden shat in my bed..." Fixed it for you.

Look at that, Trump is about to end another war. That's another FIFA peace prize right there.

I like how this also implies those people's kids all end up in hell...

Ask chatgpt what the best way to go about it would be. I'm sure it'll save you a ton of time!

Gothic 3 with community patches right now. Works great and looks great on the OLED. A blast.

Oh, okay. But wait a second, there's something on the back as well. So...hmm.. apparently there are parents who don't like it very much when their unborn baby fucking dies.

Huh.

But yeah, when what you want is everyone to be miserable and fucking die, then yes, you're right that in that particular case sex doesn't matter.

But remember that's just you and not everyone is nuts.
