Edit: Manna was more relevant than I thought:
> The government had finally figured out that giving choices to people on welfare was not such a great idea, and it was also expensive. Instead of giving people a welfare check, they started putting welfare recipients directly into government housing and serving them meals in a cafeteria. If the government could drive the cost of that housing and food down, it minimized the amount of money they had to spend per welfare recipient.
The author of the comment I'm replying to seems to advocate a different approach where you choose tech and techniques that are good for short-term but maybe not long-term. This way you have planned technical debt plus unplanned technical debt. Also the comment author seems to be missing one of the post author's main points, which is that MongoDB's schemalessness is awkward even in the early stages of the app, and this is worked around by a less-than-ideal technique of moving the schema from the database layer to the application layer.
Trolling is a art.
I think it's a bit silly to gripe about a course being available. Just don't take the course! I understand proposing better alternatives on the list but I don't understand saying that the course shouldn't exist. Maybe the alternatives are better for most people, but for a few people the course is better!
