MongoDB & Mongoose Module Needs Work

Hello there,

This is the right place to post. However, it is much more helpful, if you find something specific that is missing/incorrect, to open up an issue in the freeCodeCamp repo mentioning all necessary information.

Fortunately/Unfortunately, the tools fCC teach update, and breaking changes are introduced. This does require constant maintenance, which is difficult for a not-for-profit of less than 10 staff. Which is where wonderful contributors come in.

Something to keep in mind:

  • By this point in the curriculum, campers should be confident to do their own research to destroy bugs, and figure out how to use tools. I realise this is no excuse, but the hand-holding does need to stop at some point (in my opinion).
  • The curriculum is having a major overhall with version 7.0 being worked on. This will practically make the current lessons redundant. So, it is not in the staff’s best interest to spend time updating something that is going to be removed. v7.0 Curriculum
  • v7.0 addresses many issues currently present, and if you are interested, you can help contribute!
  • The tools fCC currently make use of (Glitch, Repl.it, CodePen), often limit the ways the content can be taught. Again, not an excuse, but something that is being worked on.

freeCodeCamp are excellent at responding to issues campers bring up. So, keep doing so, but if you want to see quick change, contributing is one of the best ways to help.
