Hello!
Hello!
I have had an email exchange with Randy Jacops .
So far, he's been very pleasant to talk to and seems to be far better than previous management.
He's also demonstrated quite a bit of guts by making his address available to some customers.
I am sure he's received a lot of emails from many of us and I am sure our passion has shined through.
Let's see how he conducts himself, but so far it's a thumbs up from me.

ReplyDeleteDid he mention the word "layoffs"?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, he gave an indirect hint that the staff working on Delphi does not have an immediate reason to worry.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't mean that there will be no "streamlining", but if it happens it'll be further down the line in my view.

His mail address is available in public.
ReplyDeleteI feel remained for a marketing campaign of a German web hoster and telecom company called 1&1.
The puppet (man) installed by this campaign was called "Marcel D'Avis".
Many words, no facts.
My 2 cents.
Udo Sommer, it is too early to pass judgement in my view.
ReplyDeleteAs things stand, I see a 10000000% improvement :D but hey,
I am not saying you're wrong, I am just saying "This one looks human", let's give him a chance.

ReplyDeleteNo judge from my POV, only analogies I see ATM.
As you said, we'll see.
The EMB folks looked human too, and we gave them a chance. And the first few releases were serious improvements. But they kept too much of the Borland business philosophy, raised prices that were already too high, never fixed plenty of long-running bugs, laid off plenty of highly-skilled developers in favor of cheap foreign code monkeys, with a subsequent (and completely predictable) reduction in product quality, kept betas closed and everything as proprietary and tightly controlled as possible and antagonized the customer base in far too many ways.
ReplyDeleteFool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If Idera wants us to take them seriously, they'll have to first demonstrate that they're serious about fixing what Borland and Embarcadero screwed up.
When they move their business model into the 2010s, instead of pretending like it's still the 1980s and that whole "Internet" thing that changed everything never actually happened, then it'll be worth another look.
Javier Hernández A roadmap only indicates what they intend whereas what matters is what they do. Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised but only time will tell.
