To fellow coworkers, don't be so loyal you change the equation for Oracle for free. You can only pick two and not the other. Good, Fast, Cheap. Oracle very clearly picks fast and cheap and they expect you to work extra to add the Good. You get what you pay for Oracle. Coworkers don't give them extra so they don't have to slow down or pay people more.

I wouldn't even say the labor arbitrage is even fast. Cheap is about the only variable being optimized/chosen there. My experience with few exceptions are they take about 2-5 times longer to get the work done, and that's only AFTER you spoonfeed every single requirement that does not leave out anything that you would expect to be inferred. So in that sense its even slower having to compile precise requirements enough for them to give you 60% of what you ask for.
