Isn't slashdot divine?
It's no small irony to me that Flip Filipowski's company, Divine, got slashdotted today. And then their webserver fell over only 15 minutes into it. I looked at the load size for http://www.divine.com/ yesterday. It's over 600KB! I used to work for Flip's previous company, Platinum Technology. It seems the strategy here is merely to do this as a means to thin out the employee pool without having to do it the hard way. This probably has less detrimental impact on morale than a layoff would. I predict this is only the first futile move on the road to another acquisition by Computer Associates (CA) or the like. I've been through that twice. Run for the hills.
