The next generation of MongoDB is expected to be unveiled at MongoDB World 2024, with Stephen Strickland, a 19-year-old college student who attended the event with his father, David Strickland, CTO of MongoDB user MyDealerLot, already presenting at the conference. The young developer has been working on projects related to MongoDB, including an API for MyDealerLot using the MongoDB C# driver, and aspires to develop an AI platform that connects every aspect of one's life. He expresses enthusiasm for the MongoDB community, which he finds fantastic but wishes would grow in size over the next couple of years. The young developer plans to advance in his career, with no specific aspirations but open to opportunities at MongoDB or other companies.
