The most natural way to understand fragments is as a reusable part of a query. We at Meta know that this isn't true and can lead to a world of pain when it c... How To Use Fragments (They're Not for Re-use!) - Janette Cheng, Meta

Limit/offset pagination is simple but expensive & not resilient to changes in the underlying data. Cursor pagination is resilient and performant, but doesn't give you "jump to page"...
@michaelstaib.bsky.social‬ gives us the best of both worlds with "relative cursors" graphql.org/conf/2025/s...

Taking in the state of GraphQL Federation from @martijnwalraven.bsky.social and @michaelstaib.bsky.social. Awesome to see the leadership by contributors from ChilliCream, @apollographql.com, and The Guild on advancing the community forward and developing this standard in the open #GraphQLConf

TSC member @michaelstaib.bsky.social is a #graphqlstar & secret weapon, working across our diverse ecosystem to build consensus in the composite schema WG & spec. Michael also created HotChocolate, which implements GraphQL features for the .NET ecosystem. Thank you for all you do!!

In case you're keen to get more involved with the GraphQL Community this year, tomorrow we have 2 Working Group meetings you can join - Composite Schemas and our Primary WG - Subscribe to the calendar if you want notifications! calendar.graphql.org

The MOIST Principle for GraphQL Schema Design Why MOIST is preferable to DRY when it comes to GraphQL Schema Design

New post 🌶️ The MOIST Principle for GraphQL Schema Design

About a month and our idea in Australia is from Melbourne up to the barrier reef along the coast. We did with the kids already quite a bit of road trips. So 8 hours is acceptable between stops. In Hawaii we do not know yet. Can you do there more than just surfing and swimming?

We are planing the next holiday with the kids and are split between Hawaii and a road trip through Australia.

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!
