@retoor tbf, I was only thinking that for a few days when I first learned about graphql and played around with it.
It’s still a good tool to know about and to have in your tool belt, but it’s widely misunderstood and not worth using for most projects. -
@Lensflare Isn't this for every framework /language in the world? If you are not doing it correctly, then it will be a pain in the ass to maintain it.
But I guess graphql is just largely misunderstood and an easy way to offload backend responsibility to the frontend. -
@badger gladly. Take my mutation
-
@antigermanist Fuck. Now my backend needs to be able to support arbitrarily complex data.
This was a bad idea. -
@retoor yes :)
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
I had yesterday a meeting with the backend-dev/manager. He at least mentioned that GraphQL was not the way to go and that he has no idea how to tackle certain requirements. He is planning to sit together with the internal future users to check what data is truely needed (fyi, he started the project 11 months ago).
So yeah, the project is now on hold and he assigned me a 2h task for the rest of this week; fun.
