If by "trying" you mean, random coding expeditions performed by people in too much of a hurry to find out what their forebears discovered, then yes, you stop trying. You stop trying and start reading, start researching, start thinking. There are vast reserves of knowledge just sitting there in the source code, waiting to be read. Looking at the CAP theorem and deciding to make a distributed database to exploit different tradeoffs is very sensible, but hubristically ignoring everything that came before because it's older than a decade is not.
- jwilliams 13y agoYou'll have to be more specific if you want to have a real discussion. Calling MongoDB a random coding expedition doesn't give me anything to go on, except perhaps just to flame back. Same goes with "ignoring everything". It's an absolutist statement that is patently false. If there is something specific that MongoDB is blatantly or arrogantly ignoring from Oracle (i.e. the original article) -- technical, business model, whatever -- Then call it out.
