Welllllllll I think that's moving the goalposts. Being distributed might be a thing _now_ but I still remember when it was marketed as the thing to have if you wanted to store unstructured documents.
Now that Postgres also does that, you're marketing Mongo as having a different unique feature. Moving the goalposts.
- thfuran 2y agoIt doesn't really seem reasonable to accuse someone of moving goalposts that you've just brought into the conversation, especially when they were allegedly set by a third party.
- coldtea 2y agoParent didn't "just brought them", they merely referrenced the pre-existing goalposts used to advocate for Mongo and reasons devs adopted it.
- lkdfjlkdfjlg 2y agoExactly this, very eloquent, thank you. Yes, I'm still bitter because I was one of those tricked into it.
