Cold comfort to all the companies who believed mongo’s marketing claims and then lost data because of their shoddy engineering. Or the users who had their data stolen because mongo shipped with insecure defaults. (Not entirely mongo’s fault, but they deserve some of the blame). As engineers we bear responsibility for how our work impacts society. Mongodb may have made their investors a lot of money, but they did sloppy work and didn’t do right by their customers. That’s not a success in my book.
