I waited 20 minutes to get one, and I was not upset when I got it home and ate it.

As someone with 20+ years of SQL, I find it confusing as hell to join up two different collections.

Any chance that this is going to become simpler in future versions?

Huge memories of the place-- my uncle used to take me because his son wasn't old enough, and my parents never let me do the cool shit.

You had a lot of rides that seemed unique, and I'm not just talking about the death traps like the loop-- did you have someone coming up with all these crazy ideas (and if so, who), or is this a combination of y'all scouring the country for the craziest ideas, and the rest of us not having the internet to realize other places had them?

Well, the first thing I see is a broken link to $lookup in the first paragraph, so there's that :)

(Sorry to whatever tech writer I just called out in front of your boss...)

One issue in general I have with the documentation-- it's great that you make it easy to set up the conditions, but it does require that I actually run through all these tests myself to see what the output looks like. Which in turn means I have to be logged in, set up all the test collections, then clean all that up afterwards.

Why not also show the result on the same page? If I could see what "inventory_docs" looked like without going through all those steps, that would be a lot clearer about how this works, and what I can expect to get back.

And as long as I've gone here, it would be super-helpful to see more side-by-side examples of how to do something in SQL vs MongoDB. I feel like SQL had a way flatter learning curve, and it's frustrating to have to resort to Stack Overflow for something I can do in seconds in SQL.

I still remember meeting you at ComicCon '06, when you wandered up to the autograph area, and were immediately swarmed by folks.

You were gracious enough to take the time to talk to everyone, which really impressed me.

With everything you've done since then, are you still able to just sort of wander into a crowd of nerds, or have you become too recognizable to get away with it?
