OMG I'm so excited because it is schema-less! Was there something insightful in that blog post that helped it bump to the frontpage, or is it just because it had MongoDB in the title?

Downvote away, but is it too much to ask to upvote meaningful blog posts that present something new?

HN is so easy to game - it takes very few votes in a short period of time to get something on the front page. The guy probably sent the link around to his buddies - I've been on the receiving end of a number of such requests (and ignored them).

The main reason people upvote this blog post, is because they agree with it, not because it's any good.

It is new for some people, not everyone lives in your world or has the same experiences.
