What does it say about me that when I could build anything, I started with natural disasters?

I've been having so much fun heads down building and learning here @apollographql.com and I'm excited to start sharing that journey with all of you.

It's been a long time coming but the http QUERY method spec is nearly done www.ietf.org/archive/id/d...
The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines a new HTTP method, QUERY, as a safe, idempotent request method that can carry request content.

Great write up on Discord’s switch from Go to Rust discord.com/blog/why-dis...
Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust
This post explains why Rust made sense for Discord to reimplement: how it was done, and the resulting performance improvements.

The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨

We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

hey quick #rustlang tip:

do you have deeply nested modules?

you can do this:

mod foo {
mod bar {
mod baz;
}
}

instead of putting 'mod bar;' in foo.rs and 'mod baz;' in bar.rs

it's kinda nice to see the module tree in one place, imho

Any strong recommendations for email newsletters for the overall tech world, Node/javascript, or Rust?

I already subscribe to tldr.tech, Graphql Weekly, and This Week in Rust.

Any other you consider must-subscribes?

It's often easier to use lab tests to make technical decisions for your system. Yet, behaviors can differ in production, and you may want to revisit your choices in the light of real case scenarios. GraphQL JIT was one of these topics https://buff.ly/4jycmwh #nodejs #graphql
Cover with a large title on the front and some graphs in the background. The title reads: 'GraphQL JIT: Is It Worth It?'

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has informed us they won’t voluntarily withdraw their trademark on "JavaScript". Next: they’ll file their Answer and we’ll start discovery to show how "JavaScript" is widely recognized as a generic term and not controlled by Oracle.

I created a starter pack that includes a bunch of folks who are in the GraphQL community! If I missed anyone, please let me know and I'll add them! And feel free to share this widely!

This platform has astonishingly little reasoned discussion of GraphQL, and that should change!

I’ve been saying this for years. Readability is more important than almost anything else when writing code. Stuff like DRY isn’t helpful if it makes your code more difficult to reason about.

As much as possible, optimize for humans. Code is read way more than it is written.
