So a few people have asked why I have this snarky response. What is my problem with this service? Well, to be clear, it’s not an issue with GraphQL, it’s an issue with direct coupling with underlying datasources #thread


The service as advertised makes it simple to map a GraphQL definition against a database. Now, what’s the problem with this? Well, the devil here is in the detail. But fundamentally it comes down to how important information hiding is to you.

Information hiding is the concept whereby you expose as little information as possible to external parties. Anything you expose over a boundary becomes part of the contract between provider and consumer.

Anything I hide inside a boundary can be changed freely. Anything I expose must be maintained if I want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Why is backwards compatibility important? If I break compatibility with external consumers of an interface, then such a change can lead to the need to lock step releases of consumer and producer, or even worse accidental breakages in prod.
This sounds insane and yet it's pretty much what happened.


If we're being extremely sober-minded about this, in a tight election there's always multiple causes and movements are caused by a complex interplay of factors etc etc.

To me the big mystery of 2016 is always going to be how did Trump, who has no redeeming characteristics, get a perfectly normal number of votes? Why did multiple parts of our political immune system fail? A large part is that the GOP qua Party was weaker than we thought.

Gamergate and its spawn did a couple things to the immune system. It directly stressed it by creating a dangerous identity in a way it turns out it could not handle, and it revealed flaws that other bad actors took advantage of.

If you time-traveled and you eliminated Eron Gjoni before he hit "publish" would Donald Trump still be elected in 2016? I honestly don't think so, because it was such a close election. But the dominoes would still be in a place for a different trigger that could have happened.
Our institutions are failing.
