Yeah but they don’t do anything anymore. They create nothing, they innovate nothing, they build nothing. They’re a “service company” now. It’s not at all a shock that they’re failing to anyone but them themselves. IBM should never have green lit that brainless brain drain shift of focus.
That’s entirely untrue. IBM does mega projects and research for things the average consumer wouldn’t know or care about. Their customer base is industries, not people.
Having worked for a couple chip design shops, and now at ibm… ibm is the one of a few companies pushing the envelope in chip design. You just don’t need what they make, so you’ve never heard of it.
Last I read IBM was one of the big companies pursuing R&D in quantum computers and such plus they have some software stuff like crimestat and the weather channel under their umbrella.

Wow, IBM is still around?
Our tech leans heavily on AS400s, if you can believe that. And we have 98% market share in our space. They’re complex, but they work, and don’t fail.
I worked with that and COBOL lol. I’ll never be without a job I guess.
DB2 isn’t terrible tbh but of course I want to use something like postgres if I had the choice.

You just have no idea what they do, clearly. That doesn’t mean they don’t do anything.

They also do quite a bit of engineering r&d stuff.
They just sell the licenses for their solutions and research now rather than directly making products from it.
As a IBM developer - ouch man, that hurts. I guess I’ll just go back my job doing… nothing (actually sounds like a sweet job)
Yeah. And they have 3% market share of the cloud services.
AWS has 34%.
