   Thanks for your post and report; it made me think that my voice could actually make a difference and I just called, using the Mozilla tool! I got to speak with an actual person and in my native language. The guy seemed to know what's t

   Yeah, all o-kay; my comment was not meant as a dismissal but rather as a clarification. Because of various social and soap-opera-like-drama reasons in the community, I was super surprised and electrified to see such content assuming by defa

    As to one sentence in particular in ch01s09: "If someone has already solved a problem once, don't let pride or politics suck you into solving it a second time rather than re-using." I'd strongly argue it's overzea

    Could you possibly say in more detail where in the RN codebase can I find the exact code which generates the "single JSON message that lists mutations to perform" that you claim? I'm super interested and desperately trying to

    Personally, I'm actually a long time C++ programmer (and loving it, at the time!), who abandoned it and run away full steam with Go (loving it even more). So, always when I hear the above claim, I wonder: am I, like, "the only one
