"Why You Should Never Use MongoDB" is about as quick as it gets. If that's true, there's not much point to reading the rest of the article is there? Don't use Mongo.
You might as well be asking for precise guidelines on the right amount of normalization to have in a SQL schema, or which language or editor to choose. You could spend weeks reading articles and blog posts and come away with a really lopsided view of the subject, or just dive in and figure out what works for you.
I found Sarah's analysis trite and one-dimensional. About as useful as "never eat peanuts" with a lot of scare words about allergies. That's great linkbait, interesting to anyone who's never eaten a peanut before, and might even have a thing or two to be learned. Unfortunately, it overstates its point so far that it just isn't useful in the real world.
- gress 13y agoThe headline is provocative, and certainly not absolutely true. It would be better phrased as 'Why mongodb is unsuitable for most use cases'. However she then wrote a full piece justifying her position. We might disagree but she provided valuable insight. Most people here did nothing of the sort. And the argument that 'it would be better to dive in rather than read blog posts' is a generic argument against anyone reading or writing technical blog posts. Surely you can't really mean that.
- bronson 13y agoHer headline is a more accurate than yours. Why attach a reasoned headline to an unreasoned article? If you truly believe that mongodb is unsuitable for most use cases then I hope you're basing that on more evidence than this blog post. Citation needed please. And recognize that your statement doesn't agree with my experience. (unless you're saying, "(insert any database technology) is unsuitable for most use cases" -- that's probably true but not useful) SO, is it better to dive in rather than read linkbaity one-sided blog posts? Yes. Yes, I mean exactly that. Surely you don't disagree?
