How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? 551
An anonymous reader writes "I have a technology background and worked as a programmer for a few years before slipping over to the dark side.

They could have been using PostgreSQL which is more full-featured than MySQL and its libraries (and the whole server) are BSD-licensed. Instead, they choose to issue a "No Open Source" policy and to buy the most expensive (to buy and to admin) database from one of the most proprietary vendors.
Very bright.
