Articles like this give me the feeling that the author did a little bit of research and shared a suboptimal solution, and was hoping that experts on HN would present better solutions. Wasn't there a saying about how the best way to get correct answers is to post not just the question but the wrong answers to it?
If something is stupid but it works then it is not stupid. If this will help them find a solution then sure why not. Though I am wondering if this would not be easier to just use postgress and focus on features instead.
