Does it matter? We do a pretty continuous 400k ops/s worth of Mongo, but I don't think that's necessarily going to fix anyone's issues with it.

#15This guys arguments are really bad because he makes them from a very narrow one sided point of view. It is actually hard to read through the hatred....
> First, the 10gen spokesperson seems to have read only the H2 elements on my original writeup -- he seems to not have read or understood the actual text that goes along with them. Do they have some local CSS applied that makes regular text invisible? Couldn't read past that.
Why? It was accurate, and it does you no favors to brag about not reading an argument.

Trigger warning for data corruption and poor public relations.

And of course the HN boys club doesn't see anything wrong with the headline. I expected nothing less :(
