As someone who's worked on this, I'm oh so conflicted. Yes, it's mostly a terrible idea, if CodeMirror and the likes work. On the other hand, there's so much default behaviour that's just excellent that'd need

I'm honestly not sure whether there's really a good excuse to invent a format that's immediately incompatible with all GraphQL tooling out there, which would need to be converted. After all, debugging and logging tools could

There are solutions to simply turn GraphQL requests into (traditional) CDN-cacheable requests. Usually this would be done using (Automatic) Persisted Queries, where a query is not only requested as a GET request, if it's not a mutation

To be fair, since this has been a while ago it's hard to tell what to do about this. Personally I find it hard to draw any conclusions from this just due to the time that has passed. I don't use Facebook, so maybe it's just m

For what it's worth, I believe there are plans to reactivate the Siemensbahn tracks for a new line by 2025... or so I've read? Can't quite remember.

Not to toot our own horn, but while this mentions GraphQL with Relay / Apollo as fetching clients, with urql and its normalised cache Graphcache we started approaching more of these problems. Solving the mentioned problems in the artic

It's not a cryptographic key or a secret of any kind. In the case of React (or other JS libraries) export identifiers are chosen to expose private APIs for integration purposes with things like developer tooling and other functionality

We actually don't know what the usual communiqués internally at GoDaddy look like. In a vacuum we can also judge this to be an effective test. In practice there are many unknowns and factors we don't know about though. In my opini

No worries! Snark received. As we go up the engineering career ladder and land on more specialised roles with the necessary experience, both from a technical and managerial perspective, the funnel definitely shrinks. I won't deny that

I haven’t really played around with installing browsers, etc via Nix on nix-darwin yet. The experience is really good for the most part! Setting it up initially is a little confusing since the installation has to create a volume for /n

That does sound very interesting. I believe the issue lies in the fact that this is a workflow-based “sales pitch.” What I mean is that this is a difference that doesn’t always apply depending on what tools you use (like client dev tools, t

That sounds interesting! But isn’t this like persisted queries (the Relay kind and not Automatic kind) without the benefit of prototyping your queries as a front end dev as you’re working on the front end? I’d say that’s completely fair sti

That’s a pretty misleading statement, since what you’re linking to does describe how using scalars can help. Especially if the scalar never includes other data from the graph (other objects) describing the custom format with scalars is just

I think this is the important point here; it’s not hard to call GraphQL and even create a client starting from copying @urql/core for instance, but I suppose at some point if you want the same benefits on your other platforms normalize

Core Contributor of urql here, another JS GraphQL client. I think this post is very good at stating why the particular post it’s referencing (“Why GraphQL” in the Apollo docs) isn’t a full picture overview, and it succeeds at that very well

It’s great to see that that’s already supported! I wasn’t aware of that, and it’ll allow Google to pivot this feature towards a similar use-case. Right now however it seems to primarily be marketed to mobile game developers.
