I SUBMITTED THIS STORY AND IT IS IN FACT A HOAX!

You have too much time on your hands. Hacker News used to be a place where serious and somewhat time poor programmers gather to exchange ideas and learn from one another in good faith . We are certainly not here to listen to some dumbfuck spread misinformation. You should have known better. Consider joining Fox News. But I'm not sure if they'll stoop this low. Kind regards.

Maybe i already work for Fox News, or even Oracle... That's the whole point, don't be gullible, question everything!

It's the same account as the person who submitted the link.

I wonder if someone guessed the password to the throwaway account. I bet it (was) either the same as the username or something like "password".

This account never had any credibility to begin with, and i am the original owner, that's the point i'm trying to make.

From CTO of 10gen First, I tried to find any client of ours with a track record like this and have been unsuccessful. I personally have looked at every single customer case that’s every come in (there are about 1600 of them) and cannot match this story to any of them. I am confused as to the origin here, so answers cannot be complete in some cases. Some comments below, but the most important thing I wanted to say is…

The original story was submitted by nomoremongo, not nmongo. The original story was very detailed and identified known problems with MongoDB. This post is a one-liner.

So prove you were the one who wrote the account in pastebin.

I hope you get sued for any loss your idiocy has caused.

If true, you do realize that you falsely tarnished a real company and product. If this was supposed to be some lesson in verifying sources and information, I think you went about it in the wrong way. What if someone started spreading misinformation about nmongo to prove a point (even an insignificant and unrelated one), would you like that?

A previous discussi ("Failing on Mongo") on had nmongo asking someone to post this with a link to the pastebin.

You could do better if you thought about your actions. The boy who cried wolf had his fun laughing off the villagers - "question everything." he said.

and now he is openly trying to discredit himself. He is either a troll with a conscious or his cloak of anonymity is wearing thin

Yes, i am a troll, and things have gotten a little out of hand. Just because a story was very successful at fishing for up-votes, it doesn't have to be true, people around here need to be a lot more sceptical. And i think everyone who truly pays attention will know by now that MongoDB is the next MySQL.

Whether you are the original poster or not, you're not a troll, you're a sociopath emboldened by anonymity. Cloak yourself in some idealistic mission if it makes you feel good- but your mission isn't to make the point that "people around here need to be a lot more skeptical"- You're a sociopath that enjoys kicking a hornet's nest just to watch the reaction.

What exactly was a hoax? The document pasted was rather detailed and, while somewhat overblown, was obviously written by someone who knew what they were talking about. It contains a lot of criticism of design decisions by MongoDB; these are pretty common and being opinion, can't really be called a hoax.

There's also a couple of anecdotes of MongoDB supposedly failing in various ways in the author's experience. Are you saying those were fake?

Just because you submitted the document here does not mean you wrote it. Pastebin logs the document as being submitted on 5th Nov. http://pastebin.com/FD3xe6Jt

I don't buy it. I don't think nmongo wrote the doc on pastebin. Maybe I'm overrating my character-detection abilities, but it didn't smell like it was written by some immature time-wasting kid.

edit: I use mongo in prod; very much a student of the "right tool for the job" school. Not trying to add or subtract weight from the original text; ambivalence reigns supreme regarding internet nosql battles. Just saying that my possibly unreliable circuits detect quite a gulf between the original document and the OP's hysterical, caps-lock-engaged cry for attention here.
