Looking at HN today - it's full of hate and negativity.
Kudos to the developers that rise above this, often working for nothing, to build the awesome tools that future generations will use to build awesome apps.
This is why I try never to use the word NoSQL. It's a flamebait word, deliberately engineered to add heat rather than light. There's no such thing as "a NoSQL database"; there are only databases. Even the relational databases that parse SQL have significant differences, and the databases that don't speak SQL are all over the map.

And have been since the punchcard days. For many people, it's hard to imagine there have been databases of all types, feature sets and performance characteristics before the dawn of SQL.
But also kudos for developers who are honest and are calling out a broken design for what it is, without worrying too much about being called a 'hater'.
HN critics best be intepreted for what they truly are. Not critics, but truly caring about software. In doing so, weak elements are pointed out. Not to make any coder look bad, but to improve it.
You can't spell NoSQL without the word no.
