1 day agoMonty Widenius 'heartbroken' over Oracle's MySQL job cuts
Around 70 members of the team behind the open source database have been shown the door as part of Oracle's latest round of redundancies, according to one high-level source in the MySQL community. Michael "Monty" Widenius, who co-authored the original MySQL in the 1990s, posted that he was "Heartbroken to hear about the widespread layoffs at MySQL last week, and while I'm not surprised that Oracle is going in this direction with MySQL, it still saddens me that it's come to this."
