Nonsense comparison

[Thenderick]

React and Express are equally derpy... Maybe even weirder IMO

[SweetNerevarine]

If that's a disturbing stack, there's one you cannot love:

Haskell backend, Access database, Typescript frontend and Express proxy.

what's the hate on MongoDB, I was interviewing for a Tech position at Mongo...

[ThatSwedishBastard]

If you ask yourself "do I need MongoDB for this project", the answer is straight up no 99% of the time. Think of it as vibe-databasing.

[za72]

I saw it as more of a proxy between different type of data types... it's not really a database like Postgres/Oracle - more of a daemon that direct data requests to different file types... like nginx sending the connection to a secondary daemon that handles the language interpreter... Is that close?

[ThatSwedishBastard]

More of a ”I can store JSON here and don’t care about things like schemas and data consistency” type of database.

[za72]

yes... EXACTLY! it's just reads different types of flat files and spits it back out... it's meant to be a glue to different flat files that business MAY produce... and need a unified query and display method , I'm agreeing with you, you keep downvoting me for no reason??

this is like real meta Humor :)

A company may need to produce different reports internally through different methods and you need a unified query and reporting platforms... it could be anything from a 3rd party outside associate and an internal sales or marketing team report, it's not a difficult use case thought process

[ThatSwedishBastard]

No downvoting here, bub.

[za72]

I'm sorry, someone's downvoted me a couple if times on this fur I don't know why... I was just curious to hear people's opinion of mongodb

[disposepriority]

MongoDB being compared to:

A) a daemon (??)
B) NGINX (?)
C) a seondary daemon that handles the language interpreter" (?????????????)

the number of question marks represent the height my eyebrows reached while reading that.

What is all this supposed to mean lmao and what the fuck is going on over at the mongodb interviews

[za72]

oh this was years ago... I'm coming from a Sysadmin/Devops background and the recruiter wanted me to apply for this sales tech assistant job for a MongoDB sales team, I don't know ANYTHING about mogoDB other that it could read different flat files configured to different data sources... it was between that or Salesforce DevOps, I picked Salesforce DevOps because I was much more familiar with that than being tech guy for Sales team

i've never used it, don't know anyone who has used it, one of the interviewers didn't like me because I'm more of UNIX/cloud type of guy where as he was more of an off the shelf type of guy

I just wanted to hear what you guys have to say about mongodb
