nothing much new here. mongodb marketing/PR was a problem, advertising a general purpose RDMS alternative without the technology to support it. users were also a problem, using a technology without understanding the architecture and trade-offs. to be over critical of "mongodb" though is unproductive. there were a lot good people working on new software to solve hard problems and I'd like that to continue. lets just not repeat the same mistakes. don't get caught in marketing hype, and carefully evaluate technology decisions.
