For like 10 years there were a lot of people who did a real good job of putting the words "java" and "enterprise" really close together a lot of the time and my wires are still all crossed because of this bullshit

there's a piece of software here that upon restart randomly assigns the licensing port from 1-65500

hey ours does that too

enterprise grade means that none of the people selling or buying the product have or will ever use it.

word.

to elaborate, "enterprise-grade" ensures that the people in your organization who have to use the product and the people in your organization who decided to deploy said product are completely disjoint sets.

by implication, "enterprise-grade" means that the user interface factors approximately zero into the purchasing decision. since the UI has a negligible effect on the product's marketability, there is no lower bound on how terrible it can be.

my two big takeaways so far re. enterprise grade software:

    1) you can’t find the price online 2) it’ll look like it came from the 1990s

my first programming gig i was the last dev/IT man standing and the company sold part of the company off and the buyers came in and converted all the servers to a small handful of VMWare machines, except the print server we used required a parallel port dongle, which couldn't be emulated.

it was my last week at that point and I just said 'lol' and stopped coming in because gently caress if I'm going to help with that.

i worked for a school in 2001 and the entire school was managed using some terrible all-in-one "school management solution", which was basically a huge flat database (in a late-80s version of dbase) with hundreds of fields and a suite of editor programs all clearly written and designed by people who never communicated with each other. parts of it were still dos-based. just adding a new student and assigning them to classes took 15-20 minutes and required running five different programs.
