@percona.bsky.socialYour database Total Cost of Ownership is bigger than infrastructure and licensing.
People, support, downtime, migration, risk and vendor lock-in all count too.

@2k115.bsky.socialCapital is shifting from generic AI hype to hard science.
Hong Kong Biotech (+22%) outperforms Hang Seng Tech by its widest margin since 2015. While SaaS agents burn unmonitored budgets, biopharma uses ML to compress R&D timelines and reduce burn rates.

At some point, the whole thing started to feel weirdly familiar.
Then my brain went: NINJA loans!!!
