Eh, the second one is probably the only point I was kind of meh on. You should almost always start with an RDBMS, and it will scale for most companies for a long long time, but for some workloads or levels of scale you're probably going to need to at least augment it with another storage system.

NoSQL databases are all different AND they weren't all taught for decades. If you put real effort into learning a specific NoSQL database and it is suited for your problem things work out pretty well.
