    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.

      Mongo’s biggest sell was it increases developer productivity so backlogs were burned down faster and managers all benefited.

      AI greatly removes that differentiator. AI doesn’t care if it needs schemas or if there’s an idiomatic driver for Python or Node. Even schema changes aren’t an issue and most databases support complex data anyways.
