or - mongo is great for some problems and not so great for other problems. if there is one thing you can figure out hanging out on HN long enough - it's cool to hate on mongodb
- rdtsc 13y ago> it's cool to hate on mongodb Tens of thousands of computer geeks all randomly chose to hate a product. Clearly a coincidence or unlucky alignment of stars, nothing to do with said product, of course.
- briancaw2 13y agoIt could just be the case that everyone complains about their database and the HN crowd uses a lot of MongoDB. There's certainly more total MySql/MSSQL griping, whether or not gripers/users is higher for MongoDB isn't really obvious.
- rdtsc 13y agoAs I pointed out MongoDB inc (ex 10gen) made some decision in relation to how they marketed and set up their product that made many turn their heads.
- idProQuo 13y agoI want to like Mongo, I'm all about "cutting my teeth on the bleeding edge", but I don't know what to think about MongoDB. Most conversations about it seem to go like this: Lover: MongoDB is so much faster and easier than old school SQL! Hater: It's fast and easy because it doesn't check if it's written data correctly, which leads to corrupt data. Lover: Well you could always turn on the write lock. Hater: If you turn on the write lock, it becomes slower than normal SQL databases. Lover: Well you're just trying to use it the same way you use SQL. MongoDB is great for some problems and not so great for other problems. Hater: What problems is MongoDB better at solving? And then that's the end. I've never heard a convincing use case for this thing. If you can change that for me and give me one, I'd be delighted to listen.
