    I always find it mind boggling that companies are willing to pay 7 figure software licensing costs but then get stingy about a few hundred dollars worth of RAM.

    Pretty sure we paid a LOT (i.e. 6 or 7 figures worth last year) to add more RAM arrays to our virtualization platforms to meet the escalating RAM requirements, so letting processes just run wild now means the process gets kicked back for review by DBA's and senior devs.

    Probably would be nice to have those checks up front (i.e. before we first crash the server!!!!), but hey - at least we now have the check in place 😀

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
