"Schema-less?" Not quite. MongoDB has had schema validation since 2017, giving you the power to enforce rules and avoid messy data chaos. Stop breaking apps with migration scripts and start shipping features. Use schema versioning to evolve your database gradually with zero downtime. Flexibility with control, structure with enforcement—not "schema-free." Learn more: mongodb.social/6014AroT2

Your outdated systems are holding you back. For years, we’ve worked with customers across industries to solve their toughest modernization projects. So we know how legacy applications burden enterprises and stifle innovation. Today we’re excited to announce a new platform built to solve this challenge: the MongoDB Application Modernization Platform (AMP.). MongoDB AMP combines AI-powered tools, a proven delivery framework, and modernization expertise to transform legacy applications into modern, scalable services. By combining AMP tooling with MongoDB’s repeatable framework, customers have seen tasks like code transformation sped up by 10x or more—with overall modernization projects sped up 2–3 times. In short, MongoDB AMP can help you shed the burden of legacy systems, opening the door to future-proofed innovation, cost savings, and competitive edge. mongodb.social/6019AuOnD

A temple of chess games Hello everyone, and welcome to the story of Antonio Radic, better known as Agadmator. This is the story of a humble chess player from Croatia who brought chess, real chess, to the general public. Agadmator was the first YouTube channel about chess to reach one million subscribers. He got there by showing good games of chess: no flashy spectacle, no fancy set-ups, just chess. In a recent interview by Lex Fridman, the living legend of chess Magnus Carlsen was asked to recommend some YouTube channels. Try to guess who Magnus pointed at while I give you a couple of seconds… For those of you who just want to enjoy the show, here is what Magnus replied: "The best recommendation I could give is Agadmator." In this channel, you can find an endless supply of chess games covered with grace, simple annotations and interesting stories. There are playlists of whole World Championships, from the first game to the last, both classical and modern. A high-profile tournament going on? Agadmator will cover it. He has more than 700 games by Magnus Carlsen alone… A real temple of chess games. Antonio pioneered professional chess content creation, and he did it all by himself. You are more likely to see Antonio asking for autographs from elite players than mingling with chess celebrities. All he had was a webcam and a loyal dog. With these simple tools and his passion for our noble game, Antonio led the way for chess in the online world. As usual, thanks for reading, I will see you soon, and have an excellent rest of your day. 💫 📸 Antonio getting an autograph on his chess board from Hikaru Nakamura (photo from @agadmator's Twitterr page) #Chess #YouTube #Agadmator

Today’s first year of the day is Jakob Runkel, a left-handed pitcher from Lower Gwynedd, PA. A fun fact is that he once ate an entire strawberry rhubarb pie in one sitting in our dining hall 🤯

“We came up short. I think the beautiful part about it is everyone experiences different pains, everyone experiences different agonies of life, but you decide if you want to learn from it. You decide if you want that to be a teachable moment. I know I do.” -Jalen Hurts

When you take the time to learn something new it often ends up saving you a lot more time than you spent learning it. #NoSQL @MongoDB

Three men are on a boat. They have four cigarettes, but nothing to light them with. So they throw a cigarette overboard and the whole boat becomes a cigarette lighter.
