This blog article traces key developments that coincided with MongoDB’s move away from open source software, and it examines how SSPL influence might have lured others in the same direction. MongoDB started out in 2007 as 10gen, a New York-based company looking to create a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution.

One example is that Netflix launched it’s streaming service in 2007, just at the point when the cost of streaming a movie over the network (which was dropping fast) became less than the cost of shipping a DVD.

However, for 16 years since 2007, the MySQL query optimizer has had a “bug” that not only makes LIMIT 1 slower than LIMIT 10 but can also make the former a table scan, which tends to cause problems. I went through the case details for one of our clients last week, leading me to pen down this article.

Let’s say you have a calendar of events, and all you want to retrieve all the events that occurred between 2005 and 2007. Being the smart developers we are, we wrapped all the event years in a span with a class of year, like so: 2007. Getting all the year spans where the value is between 2005 and 2007 is easy.

That is, a team can work in such a way that it is less likely to cause problems for itself, by e.g., writing unit tests, having continuous integration, developing to finely grained statements of business functionality, embedding QA in the development team, and so forth. This latter point merits particular emphasis.

It may be that we have highly skilled developers who are collaborative by nature, writing relatively simple code that is not subject to much change. Does unit testing lead to higher quality?

The most common programming task that a typical software developer has to deal with is: receiving input, transforming it, and producing output. This is mixing concerns and leads to code that becomes strongly coupled, monolithic, hard to write, hard to read, hard to evolve, hard to test, and hard to reuse. The need for flow control.
