> Amazon is a slightly annoying company that I rarely root for, but Oracle is a predatory company
Amazon and Oracle couldn't be more different in this point of view.
Amazon's predatory instincts are pointed inwards and downwards, towards employees and vendors, while being mostly great towards the customer.
Everything from their warehouse workers with timers, the crying software engineers and all other things I hear about them are about running an internally facing extraction economy.
The squeeze is being put on those who draw a paycheck (or at least, a profit) from Amazon, while the consumers see instant access servers on EC2, Amazon Go for lunch breaks in a city or One hour shipping of diapers.
In comparison, Oracle seems to be going after those who pay them already.
