Have you read the book "Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder" from Nassim Nicholas Taleb? How does Nassim's thesis relate to your cloud strategy?

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

What is GraphQL? Is it a replacement for the REST API?

The diagram below shows the quick comparison between REST and GraphQL.

🔹GraphQL is a query language for APIs developed by Meta. It provides a complete description of the data in the API and gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need.

🔹GraphQL servers sit in between the client and the backend services.

🔹GraphQL can aggregate multiple REST requests into one query. GraphQL server organizes the resources in a graph.

🔹GraphQL supports queries, mutations (applying data modifications to resources), and subscriptions (receiving notifications on schema modifications).

We talked about the REST API in last week’s video and will compare REST vs. GraphQL vs. gRPC in a separate post/video.

Over to you:
1). Is GraphQL a database technology?
2). Do you recommend GraphQL? Why/why not?

Beautiful 60-day timelapse of a bird building a nest and raising her kids until they fly away from home. This is the magic of life.

OAuth 2.0 Explained With Simple Terms.

OAuth 2.0 is a powerful and secure framework that allows different applications to securely interact with each other on behalf of users without sharing sensitive credentials.

The entities involved in OAuth are the User, the Server, and the Identity Provider (IDP).

What Can an OAuth Token Do?

When you use OAuth, you get an OAuth token that represents your identity and permissions. This token can do a few important things:

Single Sign-On (SSO): With an OAuth token, you can log into multiple services or apps using just one login, making life easier and safer.

Authorization Across Systems: The OAuth token allows you to share your authorization or access rights across various systems, so you don't have to log in separately everywhere.

Accessing User Profile: Apps with an OAuth token can access certain parts of your user profile that you allow, but they won't see everything.

Remember, OAuth 2.0 is all about keeping you and your data safe while making your online experiences seamless and hassle-free across different applications and services.

Over to you: Imagine you have a magical power to grant one wish to OAuth 2.0. What would that be? Maybe your suggestions actually lead to OAuth 3.

My favorite paradox:

Humans put a man on the moon -- before they put wheels on luggage.

The smartest minds of a generation all carried their luggage...

Einstein, Edison, and Tesla all carried their luggage.

Neil Armstrong carried his luggage on the way to NASA's HQ.

Why?

The first patent was registered in 1970 by Bernard Sadow.

Despite this, it didn't take off until 1989 -- when pilot Robert Plath created the Rollaboard.

Humanity suddenly woke up from this collective hypnosis and realized how obvious it was.

-----

1. Mimetic Thinking

Nobody saw the obvious idea -- because nobody else saw it.

Working from first principles requires cognitive RAM.

Your brain outsources thinking to other people because it's energy efficient.

2. The Simple Idea Hidden In Plain Sight

Peter Thiel said the best stock pick of the last decade would've just been buying FAANG and hold.

No hedge fund did this.

Why?

They wanted to appear smart.

People were spending their lives trying to design flying cars before we put wheels on luggage.

3. Where is luggage without wheels in 2023?

If you want a sleepless night, ask yourself that question before bed.

What simple idea is everyone ignoring in 2023 because everyone else is ignoring it?

2. The History Of The Internet

It's crazy how fast things have moved over the last 30 years.

Google's explosion is incredible when viewed in a historians frame.

FOTOGRAFÍA POST MORTEM DE CARLOTA

Tomada en el Chateau Bouchot el 19 de enero de 1927. La emperatriz Carlota de México falleció a los 86 años, última sobreviviente del Segundo Imperio Mexicano y única mujer en gobernar el país.
Sus últimas palabras: “[...] Dios quiera que nos recuerden con tristeza, pero sin odio.”
