I'd personally be interested in some details on how they're _generating_ the mock data for their server. As they're using that mock data for testing, the data returned has to be deterministic, so I'm guessing they'r

Apollo CLI isn't even coupled to Apollo Client though. You can use it to generate types for any graphql query as long as you can also provide a schema for it to infer types from.

The first thing that popped in my head was also how this compares to Apollo CLI's type generation ( https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-tooling , formerly apollo-codegen). On a cursory glance, it seems like with

Going to have to disagree with the comment on CSS-in-JS. CSS-in-JS is one of my favorite parts of the React ecosystem. Style as a function of state is such a natural extension to React's programming model that I end up cringing a bit e

My only major pain point working with flexbox have been gutters. With flexbox, implementing gutters often involves some kind of hack involving negative margins, which is both inelegant and can sometime result in strange layout issues in my

"Every time" for this use case is once per browser install, at the moment you perform the authentication with Firefox Sync, which is the same as the number of times you'd want to verify the binary right before authenticating.

For this use case, authenticating is a one-time effort as well, per browser. If you're authenticating again, you're almost certainly doing it on a different device/browser, at which point you'd have to verify the new bro
