We have an old ibm erp system. I develop apps around it.

We needed a data provider from IBM all the other databases give you that for free since you are already paying for the database. Not IBM $11k and their support is complete trash. Missing documents.

IBM had their own forum and when people were having issues asking questions IBM employees would respond with “sent you private message”. Like wtf a forum is so someone can search it and find a solution, but IBM is probably trying to milk them for money.

Fuck IBM. The worst fucking company in the tech space.
