  I guess people tend to expect server _database_ software to not have critical bugs like this. I understand, mistakes happen. But this doesn't help Mongo's less-than-stellar reputation.

    Or he could have, I don't know, tested it first? Nah, no one tests first before making such a large change on a production server. And don't give me crap about it's a one man operation either and we should feel sorry for him, if he's hoping to take over a good portion of Google Reader's subscribers (which he seems to hoping to do) then he should be planning better. If he can't plan to cope with a big influx of new users, that he's asked for by advertising his service, then perhaps migrating to his service isn't the right thing to do. I'd rather have Google Reader notify me that they're shutting down in 3 months than a one man operation shutdown without notice because they can't handle the load and the hassle and costs are way over what they were expecting.
