I think the biggest lesson here for us engineers is that we should watch and brace ourselves for similar tech buzz offerings like MongoDB. A few years when I went for interviews for startups, it was shameful that I didn't have experience and wasn't using MongoDB in my own products. I was a 'rusty spoon' for using resilient SQL. Funny how even engineers, a whole industry, can get swept up in using a subpar data store because it's the new cool piece of tech that makes it easier to have json you throw to a wall stick. I will never feel shamed again for not using some hot shot popular offering only because it makes development a tad bit easier. As engineers the end result is most important and we shouldn't sacrifice our platform stability just to ease our code editors and some minor migration frustrations. /endrant
