Both you and OP are right. May be the codebase you went in could be salvaged. Not true for OP where he has to prepare for a big launch.

I used to think the same way when I was passionate about my job in my previous company. However now I feel I was exploited and may be got burnt out due to that. Also I was not working on any altruist project so my passion probably didn&#x27

Interesting. I think the sole purpose of this product is to wean existing Mongo customers (3.6-). And only those customers who are happy with Mongo API but not MongoDB itself. Is that such a huge market? Would be curious to see how this s

That is a wrong analogy. If you are a retailer competing with Amazon you should be building a competent tech team in-house with some external help if need be rather than relying on fuzzy reports to choose vendors. This is a quick-fix and ma
