This is so depressing.

Legitimate concerns about power, water and costs have been turned into a broader story that data centers are bad for communities.

Disinformation works by taking something that is partly true, exaggerating it and repeating it until people believe the the truth.

Meanwhile, in China….

@mattturck Amazing game

So proud of the @MongoDB team for delivering a stellar Q3 that beat expectations across the board in my final quarter as CEO. It’s been an incredible 11-year run. Excited to watch @cj_mongodb & team take MongoDB to even greater heights.

Huge thanks to @adenatfriedman and @Nasdaq for this touching tribute. They have been fantastic partners to @MongoDB, and I know @cj_mongodb and the team will be spending a lot of time with them in the years ahead.

The freedom we live, the peace we cherish, and the nation we love were safeguarded by those who wore the uniform. Today and every day, we owe our veterans, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, our deepest gratitude.

MongoDB just had its first in-person sales kick-off in 5 years, and what a week it was! Over 2,000 people gathered to learn, network, get inspired and become prepared for another big year. I am so proud of this amazing team, which is undoubtedly the best in the business. #skofy25 #lifeatmongodb

Honoring all the men and women who lost their lives in service to our country. With two boys 21 & 19, it’s not lost on me that boys their same age gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy & elsewhere. Incredibly grateful. #memorialday2023

OMG!!

A big shout out to the amazing MongoDB interns who started last week. This year we will recruit 150+ interns from 56K applicants in NYC, Dublin, Copenhagen, San Fran & Sydney, and we're adding interns this year in Barcelona & Gurgaon. Apply here for 2023. mongodb.com/careers/depart…

These words written by @specterm in 2017, before Covid, resonate even more today.

Saying goodbye to 2021.

Our 2020 class of 85 summer interns from over 20K applicants representing 46 different colleges started today. We're thrilled to have you. #lifeatatmongodb

Morning in NYC

Remembering the brave and courageous souls who made the ultimate sacrifice 75 years ago to save the world. Eternally grateful. #DDay75thAnniversary

Interesting company we keep.

India’s Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) has now added #MongoDB to the curriculum. The next generation of developers are being trained to use the best modern database to create applications we haven’t even yet dreamed of.

Reminding our friends there is a real alternative to legacy databases. US101 SF #DocumenttheRevolution
