  • Ah, I miss the days of NoSQL vs. SQL debates.

  • I recently took my app off of Mongo Atlas because I was tired of dealing with charges that caught me off guard. I was tired of feeling like I was getting nickel and dimed over every little thing.

    I ended up migrating everything to DigitalOcean's managed database for 1/3 the price. Less headache, better performance, and less panic and anger.

    I'll never, ever use Mongo Atlas again.

  • For folks who don’t know, CJ was the president of product and technology at Cloudflare for 6 months and CJ left them and joined MongoDB.

  • Isn't MongoDB relatively stable? I can't think of why it would need any particular CEO, and an executive moving to a company that burns money for fun doesn't say much about their previous job. So why the huge stock drop?

  • A few days ago I learned Dana White (UFC's CEO) is on meta's board of directors, nothing will surprise me now.

  • TIL MongoDB is a publicly traded company.

    I can't imagine the future is bright for MongoDB as AI makes it much less painful to move off of legacy and/or overpriced software.

  • "effective immediately" means either... he doesn't have a contract with a notice period, or he does and is willing to forfeit any benefit from it like share options, etc.

    One reason might be the share price has collapsed and he has no confidence in it coming back (pretty scandalous if he's the CEO!), or Meta has offered him inducements > what he's walking away from.

    Good way to burn a lot of bridges. He's never going to be hired as CEO by anybody for the rest of his career.
