In this paradigm, the things that matter most in our developer tools are shifting, too.

The OpenAI talent exodus raises ‘huge red flag’ ahead of IPO
AI Age, Fri, Aug 14 2026
https://tinyurl.com/2u7ynrcy

The sudden departure of OpenAI revenue chief Denise Dresser this week came days after longtime exec Brad Lightcap said he was leaving. OpenAI’s C-suite instability is giving investors another reason for concern as the company makes moves toward a mammoth public listing.

CFO Sarah Friar and President Greg Brockman are set to meet with OpenAI investors on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

When OpenAI hired Denise Dresser from Slack to be its chief revenue officer
in December, Fidji Simo, a top-ranking executive, said in a blog post that Dresser’s “experience will help us make AI useful, reliable, and accessible
for businesses everywhere.”

Four months later, Dresser took on added responsibilities when operating
chief Brad Lightcap left that position for a new role focused on “special projects.”

Dear Dude,

I am currently in job negotiations with a company here in /South East
Asia/, and will only consider relocation to /Silicon Valley/ if the negotiations fall apart. This is liable to take some time, as I am
not in a hurry to find employment; plus the employer is not in a hurry
to hire me. We are both taking our time.

I'll be sure to let everyone here in comp.theory, alt.computer, alt.pc,
and alt.buddha.short.fat.guy -- I don't know why he's interested in my employment status -- if I have to find something else.


Best wishes, and happy not working for Apple, Google, and Facebook!

As for me, I'm specialized in the Structured Query Language (SQL) on the

Do you have any software engineering reports?

No, at the moment I don't. I don't even have an I.B.M. line printer to
print out any reports, sales, software engineering, or otherwise.

On this board there are at least four or five advanced software
engineers moderating the Usenet system based on Linux coding along with Basic.

I'm trying my best to stay away from Linux these years, though it's hard
in terms of employment. Employers really want to use these Linux
machines, so I just go with the flow.

As for me, I'm specialized in the Structured Query Language (SQL) on the Cray and later on the Dell Power Edge running Windows Server.

I'm a generalist. I've submitted a proposal to the S.Q.L. committee --
but got rejected -- and been written a lot of inner database code in the
form of PostgreSQL extensions. I believe there is some of it on my
blog, but browsers tend to scream about no security, so I don't really
try to get people to read it until I've fixed it. And I'm in no hurry.

I used to maintain the PostgreSQL extension for running Java inside the database server. I'm not sure I'll touch that code again, but I make no promises to myself about that.

Professionally, I've never touched Windows servers. Though I'm open to
write code running on some.

FYI: The core Oracle Database engine is primarily written in C and C++.

I'm not that interested in Oracle's database. It's Postgres or SQLite
for me, when I get to choose. Sometimes I'm willing to work on MariaDB.

Well, I'll consider it, but since they don't do OpenVMS anymore, I
hardly see the point of applying there. I mean, there are social considerations. You stop selling a really great operating system I
like, so why should I apply to work for you?

On that note, I probably totally blew it with Google. They tried to
recruit me some thirteen years ago, and since I wasn't interested in
any of their tech, the recruiter stopped talking to me.

Have you been recruited by Google?
