TBray Response: Sun Should Stop Sucking

Sun is just a bunch of really smart developers surrounded by a bunch of fairly bozo sales and marketing folks, and headed by no one with a real vision.

They might as well give up.

"Without a vision, the people perish." (quoting scripture)

Sad, too, as I remember the early Sun quite well (at the 10-15 people phase), as they were a neighbor of ours in Mountain View, and we (Imagen, later QMS) swapped early laser printers for early Sun workstations.

Misquoting a mistranslation of scripture, unfortunately. (The actual proverb seems to mean something like "without prophecy, the people cast off restraint", which is both less poetic and less sensible.)
