Unpopular opinion: GraphQL has no business knowing what HTTP is. Doesn't matter if it travels via http, sse, websocket, webrtc, or carrier pigeon. It's the WHAT not the HOW.

@jasonbahl @chrisgrabinski @moon_meister @nextjs I believe layouts must be deterministic at build time, not SSR time. I assume that’s how they’ve managed to relax the global asset constraint & you can do things like import external css files in it. Still wrapping my head around v13 though. seems… complex

@Lane8music can’t sleep. Where’s that brightest lights remix from tonight??

@sseraphini - If you're open source, PRing the codebase should be the final step before hiring 😉
- Onboarding checklist in @NotionHQ for the first 2 weeks.
- Welcome video & code walkthroughs in @loom
- 1:1 sync time with team members. There's still no substitute for human connection

@simon_prickett Thank you Simon! Really appreciate your work making redis more accessible to everyone!

what do you use for code snippets in wordpress? @jasonbahl @garethaledavies

i have thought about this hacker news comment nearly every day since november ninth twenty seventeen

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@jmhodges 💯GraphQL was meant to replace REST, not SQL. The current trend of generating graphql queries from a sql schema doesn’t scale.

@michlbrmly @n1rual @notrab @GraphQL @graphqlwtf oh that's cool! i imagine you could unjoin, merge, & cache the response across a few dataloaders, too...
do you have an ORM between graphql and your database? i.e. how does it know to fetch some fields from postgres & others from redis?

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@notrab @n1rual @michlbrmly @GraphQL @graphqlwtf listen here you...

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@n1rual @michlbrmly @notrab @GraphQL @graphqlwtf I've always been interested in this. How do you use partials when the same node is buried behind a waterfall?

shout out to all the wordpress + SPA + graphql developers

[JSON Bahl @jasonbahl]

This looks like a fantastic opportunity!

@BartoszJarocki more cat pics plz

@Steve8708 @builderio So Map is faster than Obj until I read 22x more than I write.
... not that I'm prematurely optimizing or anything 😅

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@Dopamine_Driven that sounds like a solid authentication approach! How do you handle things like, e.g. a mutation inviteToTeam(teamId) where you want to make sure the viewer has permissions to call that based on the teamId passed in as a variable?

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

GraphQL folks, how do you keep authorization out of your resolvers? GraphQL Shield? graphql-tools resolver composition? custom directives? Show me the way!

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@motleydev centralized auth so hot right now, got those google zanzibar vibes 😉 https://t.co/OAZph1hvxw

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@jasonbahl Ah good distinction. I'm talking about operation-specific and type-specific authorization. e.g. Who gets to call the "inviteToTeam" mutation?

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@n1rual @shinzui Tell me more! I use graphql-jit to squeeze out every little bit of performance 😅 I've stayed away from graphql-middleware for that very reason, but what about new node versions has reduced the impact?

[Matthew Krick @mattkrick]

@shinzui Never heard of it, but what a fantastic blog post comparing it to shield (https://t.co/5OQbuCRdaB). Thanks for the tip!
