I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Oh please, quit the bullshit elitism.

I think postgres is a way more robust solution than mongo, but I've had my worst db experiences having to deal with a postgres db with almost all the business logic in triggers. That was a huge pain in the ass to maintain and understand.

Mongo is defnitely a limited solution, but for certain cases it just works pretty well, with less complexity than postgres. At one of my jobs, I've setupped and maintained a Mongo cluster that did its job without causing any fuss for years.

You suffered because of idiot co-workers.

Let me tell you, your idiot co-workers can also do some evil things in Mongo pipelines.

Very, very evil things.
