Farewell Axmark

David Axmark (of MySQL fame) has just left Sun after its acquisition earlier this year. Citing his words on why he left:

I have thought about my role at Sun and decided that I am better off in smaller organisations. I HATE all the rules that I need to follow, and I also HATE breaking them. It would be far better for me to “retire” from employment and work with MySQL and Sun on a less formal basis.

Yeah, rules on big companies are somehow hard to follow, and my early experience on a similar company seems to confirm that.

Thanks David, for the greatest and coolest database ever! Let's hope Sun can cope with the hundreds of bugs in the queue.

Permit me a little moment of history (for 2 reasons: me with 95.773241% more hair together with the two coolest geeks in the planet. yeah, Axmark included)

Ricardo Amaro, António Roldão, David Axmark
