    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.

    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 πŸ˜†

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