I also quoted Rethink's post in "The Marketing Behind MongoDB" in part 3 of my series on MongoDB: > I sympathize with RethinkDB's team — they did what thoughtful engineers are trained to do. Engineering purity and humility is a tiny part of building a sustainable, venture-backed company. https://www.nemil.com/mongo/ https://www.nemil.com/mongo/

Despite their claims to the contrary, RethinkDB also released and claimed 'ready for production use' a version of the product that was pretty broken. I used it heavily and hit numerous serious bugs. The RethinkDB devs did do a very good job of tracking down and fixing them. Software is hard.
