Well then. It's been a while since I've seriously used any social media platform. How do we do it, again?
This is giving Web 1.0 and I like it 💖
Did you know: you might be able to change the style of the caret in CSS soon?
See caret-shape and caret-animation in action
(there's still some discussion & this is isn't shipped yet, but you can check it out w/the experimental-web-platform-features flag in Chrome 140+)

Is 2026 the year we fix GraphQL error handling?
GraphQL error handling sucks. There, I said it.
Null checks everywhere, and ambiguity: error, or true null? We've all been there.
In this talk, Benjie Gillam shows how to fix GraphQL's biggest mistake in 512 bytes. 👇

This is a great talk! The key things to note about fragments are that a single function should read a given fragment (i.e. they're not for reuse). isograph.dev is an entire framework built upon taking that to its logical conclusion!
You’re using GraphQL fragments wrong.
They’re not for reuse, they’re for co-location.

GraphQL i EdTech
Oct 27th 6:00PM: Vi i Sikt har besøk av Tim Couper fra 1EdTech denne dagen i forbindelse med en intern workshop om EduAPI og GraphQL. Siden det trolig er flere som er interessert i temaet GraphQL i EdTech så benytter vi oss av anledningen til å invitere til første samling i GraphQL Oslo.
Vi møtes i Sikt sine lokaler Fridtjof Nansens vei 19 kl 18:00 og starter kvelden med pizza og sosialisering. Deretter blir det noen presentasjoner med mulighet for spørsmål og diskusjon.
