Generalization of Hanlen's razor: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by laziness/greed/stupidity.
FB has GraphQL stable and doing exactly what they want it to do. Now they can pass it off to a foundation for maintenance and blame without having to pay out of pocket.
- superflyguy 8y ago"Generalization of Hanlen's razor: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by laziness/greed/stupidity." I think OP was going for greed.
- karmakaze 8y agoThat seems an over-generalization--greed should counts as malice in spirit. [nit: Hanlon's Razor]
- krschultz 8y agoGraphQL isn't a system per-say, it's a spec and many tools around it. Putting the spec in a foundation (with a few of those tools) gives the entire community certainty about the direction of the project. Hopefully that spurs more people outside of FB to commit to GraphQL. The existence of the foundation is orthogonal to FB's internal investment and usage of GraphQL, which was and will continue to be significant.
- chrisweekly 8y ago>"per-say" -> "per se" Right pronunciation, but it's Latin. :)
- krschultz 8y agoThanks! At least I learned something today.
- tannhaeuser 8y agoper se = "in and by itself" Having given tutoring in Latin when I was 15, I'm always dying a little inside if I'm reading "per say".
