My criticism wouldn't be about SQL in the frontend code, but how disconnected this example is from reality. In a typical enterprise environment, the front end doesn't have direct database access. It will use APIs, AuthN, AuthZ, RBAC, etc... Who's the target audience of this?

Hot take: If you have time to worry about nonsense like signals, you're not solving real business problems. We're so far beyond 80/20 with these front-end micro-optimization things. Do something that actually gets you customers.

The year I was born, around 35 years ago, a paper was published describing the problems of removing the boundaries between client and server. It feels like a lot of the points still apply, but we haven't learned that much. I don't think this is the right direction.

As a German, you make it look way too easy. This is not satire, it's an euphemism. We've done it because we wanted to have control over our German payroll, but I strongly recommend to just create a US entity. You've got a bank account and tax number within 2 weeks.

Am I the only one who's put off by the hype around NextJS? I think there's a threshold of how much hype feels natural and when it turns into a cult. I don't need to hear every day in the news about the frontend framework I'm using. I've never seen anybody go crazy about release

Every comparison of GraphQL vs whatever that fails to mention Relay is almost always useless. Even trpc comparisons completely fail to understand fragments. It's very easy to dismiss the complexity of GraphQL when you fail to understand the core value of the Query language.

I'm usually "ok" excited about things, but this time... it's unreal what we're pulling off here. This is coming soon, folks! The ULTIMATE ORM, the ORMs of the ORM. One ORM to map them all. A single ORM across GraphQL, REST, SOAP, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, anything really... 🚀

Next week, I'll start talking about a #serverless #sqlite based #graphql database built with @prisma and Firecracker (@flydotio machines). 500ms cold start. 2k RPS writes, 10k reads. Probably the cheapest and easiest to use database ever built? Going to #oss it soon! =)

In a real-world scenario, we would potentially call a REST/GraphQL API that runs on another server. Genuine question, what's the advantage of submitting the form to a server that then calls our API? Why not call the API from the client?

I'd actually reverse this. I was heavily invested in clean code, TDD, BDD, etc.. All of these are not bad, but often enough it's just too much and unhealthy for a business. I've now settled with a "good enough" approach that works quite well.

OK, I'm really uncomfortable doing this, but I need your help! Would you please give us a star and retweet for reach? Tech twitters biggest drama queen built a new business around what we would call a "feature" and is taking us over... (more in the 🧵) github.com/wundergraph/wu…

I'm super excited to share a new project we're working on: Open Previews! We're building an open-source, self host-able solution for Preview Comments & more. It'll use GitHub as the storage. No vendor lock-in. Works with any website & hosting provider.

Apollo strongly recommends not using Monographs (#GraphQL monolith). Instead, you should use a Supergraph (microservice architecture). So, is this actually good advice or just marketing? A 🧵 1/9 apollographql.com/docs/studio/or…
