I think the genius referred to is in its simplicity. This simplicity let MongoDB get a product to market very quickly, as well as the inherent goodness of making simple things.
I think in MongoDB's case, the getting-to-market part pushed a little too hard on the make-it-simply part. Simple is good but a thing should be as simple as possible, no less.

- threeseed 13y agoIt wasn't a good marketing tool. It was the truth. MongoDB IS by every measure a very simple and easy to use database.
