I’ve heard stuff like this from supposedly senior people - if we use mongo we can just store anything, we don’t need to think about a schema (also you can only store short strings in an SQL database)

But typically, if you do spend some time to think about schema, and relationships, you only have to spend a small amount of time, and map that into the appropriate place, and then usually you don't have to mess with it again. It's worth the investment.
