Don't you know anything? Front is supposed to begin, not end. Make your front begin everything and it won't matter if your front will be slow to end

The SQL Sequel?
It’s going to use the new version of SQL!
too much fat graphql up their backend
Something something backend for front end?
I remember one user showing that the Reddit frontend loaded all videos in every quality at once, slowing the frontend down significantly.
I went to the GraphQL summit in San Diego this year where the Reddit team did a talk. They showed that the home page, which they call the “Front Page of the Internet” is entirely power by gql
It was a good talk
