Thanks for letting me know that if I'm ever asked if I'm willing to learn mongo the answer is no.

I do believe Mongo has some valid niche use cases, but far, far too many people think it's just a no-worries way to dump objects into a database without having to deal with all that fussy schema stuff. They only realize their mistake when it comes time to actually use that data as anything other than a huge, unmanageable blob of nested fields.

Granted, Mongo's marketing kind of encourages this.
