This is why IBM is dying.

Poor quality garbage being pushed to CEOs by marketing types.

TBH, there aren't many companies which have survived over 100 years like IBM.

A common meme on HN, where startup founders meet and hope to win at least 1% of IBM money, while using tools that wouldn't exist if IBM did not decide to cut down costs with Aix and sponsor Linux back in 1998.

IBM cannot die, it's the appointed big hardware provider of the most fundamental institutions of the USA. It's almost a state agency itself.
