By
–
Another developer talked abt the difficulty of queries in some databases. Of MongoDB he said, "I genuinely *love* [@mongdodb's] aggregation queries." When I first joined MongoDB in 2012, convenience/ease was its killer app. 12 years later it's still true (but now with ACID, etc)

Elastic Returns to Open Source Through Strategic Cloud Partnership
By
–
For @elastic to return to open source, one cloud in particular needed to invest in its own product, and not the "undifferentiated heavy lifting" of taking Elastic's. But the good news is that partnering is a great way forward. My column for @infoworld https://

Hiring diverse AI talent beyond your bubble
By
–
I'd been led to believe it was harder to hire candidates that don't look like me. I'm finding the opposite. You have to work just a little bit harder to escape your own bubble but then there are *so* *many* *great* candidates (even for highly competitive skill sets like AI)
