REST vs. GraphQL, COVID-19 edition: REST: Buy all the toilet paper in sight GraphQL: Get only what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

I told my kids to start calling me GraphQL, because I'm a single endpoint that provides all their resources. They ask me for what they want, I provide it. They can even ask for multiple things at once. However, depending what they ask for, I have the option to return null.

As of today, @apollographql is officially using @wpgraphql in production for their blog!!! THE experts in GraphQL, from whom I first even heard the word GraphQL from are using _my_ GraphQL tool in production! 😊 Definitely a career highlight for me!

Got a new Puppy! Wife wouldn’t let me name her Gatsby, GraphQL, Apollo, es6 or VSCode. Her name is Coda. She does play fetch, so there is a bit of JavaScript in her after all 😆

Replying to @Rich_Harris
I hard-code class names like "svelte-349dfy7" in my WordPress themes just to throw the world off.

🎉 Today marked my 1-year anniversary working at @GatsbyJS 🙏 I’m so honored and thankful that I’ve been given the opportunity to work on Open Source full time. 🚀In that time @wpgraphql has matured from v0.3.4 to v0.9.1 👀 ...and... WPGraphQL 1.0 is just around the corner!
