I was badly burned by Mongo hype back in the day, and as a result I won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole for the rest of my life, no matter how many times people say “No, really, it’s good now”. Falling for that was how I got into trouble in the first place. I know a lot of other devs like this.

If they can be successful despite us, more power to em I suppose. I’m a little annoyed that their path to success was built on the flaming wreckage of so many products that fell apart because of Mongo, by using us as their beta testers instead of building a non-shitty product, and I’m at least going to get this comment in so we aren’t completely forgotten among the congratulation.
