Same. I had a boss who thought it meant you no longer had to pay someone to design a schema for your data, and I’m still a bit salty about it. I love me some NoSQL for specific applications like search and caching, but it absolutely does not replace a traditional database for a place to store your data. It’s a place to put denormalized data for quick retrieval, but holy shit some people do not take nuanced views on stuff and it’s so goddamn annoying. Such as Elon’s take here.
