As a big user of and advocate for MongoDB, I initially upvoted this before reading it, because I expected it to be an article about how MongoDB has stagnated and will get its lunch eaten by more interesting and reliable alternatives.
Instead, it was a pretty empty “don’t worry they’ll all come crawling back to PostgreSQL someday” article. Of course PostgreSQL will keep going and support more document-store like features. SQL isn’t dying – it’s just losing its role as the Hammer for everyone’s Nail. Now we have more tools. People are not being duped by MongoDB or other NoSQL databases, they’re just finding that it’s a helpful tool in their arsenal.

There are some, but the term “duped” might be a bit harsh. Its easy to find posts about projects that jump completely into the NoSQL pool, and find that is does not solve all their problems. The resolution is often a mix of data storage platforms that fit different workloads.

Isn’t this just a fancy ircd?
Excuse me but how is this better than Hadoop?
best comment on lobsters to date
I suppose you could look at it that way, but I think there is more value than just that…
The main point is accessibility to non-technical team members, given the better UX of tools like this. Even being a developer myself, I don’t think I’d like IRC much without IRCCloud these days.
With Slack and similar services, there are also lots of integrations into other services, like GitHub, etc. You could set up bots on IRC for these things, but these services make it more accessible.
There are many other competitors in this space:
I don’t use Slack myself, but have used FlowDock at a previous company.
With a decent mobile client and ‘session syncronization’ by default.
not to mention a built-in bouncer
I was of the same opinion initially, but just started using this on my team for the last week and the integrations/sync/device support are pretty good – combining a lot of what we were using IRC and Google Hangouts separately for.
