MongoDB is like snapchat for database

  this was funny, but I think its a lot better now. Imo rolling their own consensus protocol was a terrible idea, but they are using Raft now I believe.

  Would've been funnier and timely about a decade ago.

    Make a joke similar to this a decade ago (as I did) and developers would jump on you for being "old" or "not getting it". So, not really. But I agree that this joke is an old one and doesn't really have a place in a constructive discussion on hackernews.

  I'm starting to realize all the people complaining about data loss in Mongodb just didn't understand the tradeoffs between weak consistency and strong consistency.
