owen (pumpkin spice aspect) on Nostr: My day job, many years ago now, adopted a language developed by a Fortune 50 company ...
My day job, many years ago now, adopted a language developed by a Fortune 50 company as an open-source project. We did not negotiate any kind of long-term support agreements with the vendor, and they have since shuttered the team that was working on the language.
This sucks, frankly. My org made the decisions it made for reasons I recognize, but they also adopted some very foreseeable risks, which are now coming home to roost.
