No problem!

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are use-cases for MongoDB for folks that are not me.

Because background is important; my doctorate is in Algorithms and Data Structures, so Redis basically fits the problem solving algorithms I've been building in my head since before I learned of Redis in 2010. And Postgres (or really any good relational database) is that conceptual next step which took me the better part 2 years of daily SQL (after 8+ years of occasional SQL) to really appreciate.

Considering your background, I can see why you appreciate Redis :-)

Thanks for the chat!
