Episode 128: “Mark’s home, actually, it costs about the same as this”

Talking about Facebook this week is inescapable, so we do, but in a rant-y kind of way. We also discuss Oracle’s plans to hire 10,000 more people in Austin, Solomon Hykes leaving Docker, and the Google/Oracle case around Java’s copyright. Listener Feedback Eric Larson says Coté is wrong there is no zen in pulling weeds. Craig from Ontario says we are doing a great job and emailed for a sticker John Mitchell from Duke Energy got a sticker and did an interview with us here (http://www.softwaredefinedinterviews.com/).
