Catching up with Maria Colgan - part 2

The Spoken Nerd

Known for many years as "the optimizer lady", there are very few people that can throw down with tech ubergeeks in the Oracle community whilst at the same time nonchalantly stroll into a meeting with Larry Ellision, but Maria Colgan is one of the select people that can do so.

Maria has nearly 3 decades of experience with Oracle, covering performance, the optimizer and even OS/2. In this episode, Maria and I talk about how she landed the role of Optimizer Product Manager, whether hints should be documented, and the obsolescence of the rule optimizer. We also chat about the role of social media for the modern IT practitioner.
