I do believe Mongo has some valid niche use cases, but far, far too many people think it’s just a no-worries way to dump objects into a database without having to deal with all that fussy schema stuff. They only realize their mistake when it comes time to actually use that data as anything other than a huge, unmanageable blob of nested fields.
Granted, Mongo’s marketing kind of encourages this.
Thanks for letting me know that if I’m ever asked if I’m willing to learn mongo the answer is no.
