I probably don't like the tone of my comment on this one but TheSmoke, please don't do this repeatedly. ever. again. While I respect your honesty, but after reading this particular blog post and a few bits of your website, I think you should slow down and value tried and tested tools. Let's start with your "About me:" "Mengu, is a web developer with Ruby on Rails, Grails, Django, Pyramid, web2py, CodeIgniter and jQuery in his tool box. Available for any kind of web development jobs. Read more.." Lots of technology there. Then you take on a project where you chose MongoDB. I think I'm starting to notice a trend here. You burned your team member for not standing up for your choice. "Our manager accused me and MongoDB for the failure while we all have agreed to use MongoDB in the team. None of my teammates stood up." My prejudice sense something is off: I felt that you were the one who pushed MongoDB hard to the point where your team member gave up and just "alright, let's just get this ball rolling since we have 4 days anyway..." rather than argue with you. It fails. You got blamed alone. None of your team member stood up for your "ignorance" of tried-and-tested tools. That's fitting if I may say so. Don't do that in public blog. Don't ever ever do that. Especially when it's your fault. You also started off with saying that "MongoDB is okay" then trash the community and not willing to purchase for the support while admitting that you do need the support. I know it has been hard for you but you really need to step back a little bit and do a retrospective on your decision-making ability. I know I'm saying harsh thinsg but I hope you understand that there's a bigger problem and MongoDB is not that problem (at least not now). In my short time in this hi-tech world, I've met and worked with a few people who religiously pushing new hip tools with zero experience (using the said tools) lately (especially lately, due to the explosion of blogs and hip tools) and would want to spread the blame to everybody else if it fails just because they agreed to use it. It's a common trend that most managers can see quickly and it may not be good for your future career.
