Ken Jacobs, known to many as Dr. DBA, was a customer advocate, mentor, fearless leader, and one of Oracle's longest-term employees (second only to Larry Ellison himself).

They get it with less rework.

Oracle Database 19c SIG Meeting
SIG Meetings & CallsMany IT professionals don’t feel like they’re making a difference. For various reasons, they feel undervalued and unappreciated. Those reasons range from executive absence, unrealistic expectations, inadequate budgets, shrinking headcount, to “shadow IT” efforts.
