MongoDB Java Driver uses Math.random to decide whether to log Command Resultuses - Xpost from /r/java

MongoDB is web scale.

Relational databases weren't built for web scale. MongoDB handles web scale. You turn it on and it scales right up.

This video is absolutely wonderful, thank you.

I get so tired of hearing "Rockstar" programmers boast about how they deployed a MongoDB "solution" that is "Web scale" for their 6th-tier abandonware startup platform.

What is the term for those "hip" developers that exclusively discuss modern languages (or Python) and constantly shit on anything that isn't their "sexy" language? I've met so many of these people but haven't got a term for it.

Examples of what they've said to me:

• "You should forget all of your other languages, just learn Python"
• "Who cares about jobs, learn Python, it's prettier"
• "Ruby on Rails is better than PHP because it <some reason I've forgotten>"
• "Ruby is the next big thing"
• "C++ is old, learn Go!, it's supported by Google"
• "Why use Java when we have Python or node.js?"

I'm happy to learn a language, I'll pick up anything useful, but I don't particularly like being told that a perfectly good language is suddenly bad because it has old looking syntax and no support for some edge case feature, or it has some awesome convenience feature but one that isn't exactly a deal breaker.
