This advice is fine for programming languages, but not for data stores. Using them incorrectly (or in MongoDB's case and sometimes MySQL's, correctly) could lead to things like data loss or crashed servers. Simply building your product on one of them is not proof they are good enough.

- 01acheru 6y agoGlad to see that you actually know what is right ;) All tools can be bad, but that means that probably you cannot use it well or build something good with it. Every good enough tool can be used to build something good enough, or else it wouldn’t be good enough. And it’s also realistic to assume that every tools popular enough is good enough for something. But you see, it’s starting to get philosophical over here
