It depends on your backend architecture. We migrated a microservices (Go) architecture to GraphQL and it gets very complex with a lot of boilerplate. Perhaps part of that is GraphQL's and its supporting libraries' infancy, but sup

They're different. Microservices are still stateful applications that run 24/7. They are just really small in scope. e.g. the Friends feature on Twitch is one microservice, running in its own autoscaling group, with internal APIs

The author seems to imply the smart reply buttons immediately send an email with the chosen phrase. This is incorrect. They open an email draft beginning with the chosen phrase. There are many times I've used one of these buttons to be

Ben, every point I've been lucky enough to witness you argue at Twitch has alway shone this Neutral Good seed behind it. Unjustified process, user-harmful acts, and any worsening of free speech cause you to interject, never to "wa
