This is me - I had taken SQL at uni and found MongoDB to be much easier to reason about since I knew my frontend parts already. One of the apps I've built has a terrible database structure (my first real life server setup!), and is probably the worst codebase I've ever written. I will never show it publicly. It currently serves 100k+ users and the users have no idea how messed up the server code is. It won't scale to a million users, but that's okay and the technology served me well as a junior.
I since turned to RethinkDB and sometimes just a classic SQL will do, but Mongo is really easy to get started with.
