Moving On From MongoDB
The last seven years, I have worked with, and for, MongoDB. I have seen it grow from a small start-up, then called 10gen, with fewer than a hundred people, into a NASDAQ listed company with over a thousand employees. But now, after all these years, it's time for me to move on.
I've learned a lot, and I have worked with very good people. In these seven years I rewrote the PHP driver (twice), wrote an HHVM driver (remember HHVM?), and implemented time zone support in the MongoDB server. I will be leaving the PHP driver for MongoDB in Jeremy's and other colleagues' capable hands.
I have come to greatly admire both the engineers at MongoDB, as well as the technology that we all created. I am a big fan of MongoDB, and will continue to speak and write about it.
What's next for me? That I'll explain in my next post.

If you are interested in a more aquatic experience/lifestyle than London affords, you are welcome to join me in mastering the sailor's trade. Who knows, we might end up organizing a 'coding and sailing' academy? :-) :-) :-)

A much better writer than I is summing up perfectly why I have such disdain for Generative AI/LLMs.
