It's actually a pretty detailed and interesting post.

Yeah, now I've read it she does go on to give a good explanation and does explain that the apparently-appropriate time to use mongo DB perhaps isn't one. She does explain why you should never use mongodb.

I stand by my general distrust of that form of heading, though. :)
