Where? I see the following

I consulted on a project that was using MongoDB even though it was obvious from the concept that an RDBMS would be better, however I went in with an open mind and gave MongoDB a red hot crack. It straight up ignored indexes with no explainable reason why. We had a support contract and they just gave us the run around.

yeah i've had similar experience but never had indexes get ignored! 100% not surprised though.

To be fair, about a decade they did stop losing data, but they did play with everyone's data for about a decade first.
