    I’ve been drawing up an overview of pure vs GraphQL fragmentized [React] UI components, different ways to propagate data through the tree, and the associated maintenance/performance considerations. Perhaps you find it helpful or let me know if you have any feedback! 🙏

    This past year at @MicrosoftTeams, I've had the pleasure to lead the UI architecture for part of this new Chats and Channels UX, and introduce @RelayFramework to our @reactjs stack to use @GraphQL the way originally intended. Coming soon to 320+ MAU 😅

    My family and I have successfully managed to immigrate to the US and we have just signed a lease to a house in the Seattle Green Lake area. It's been quite a journey figuring everything out (no relocation assistance), but now we're looking forward to a summer of nature trips! 🤩

    Does anyone know of a great resource for modern React that explains the need for composition > inheritance and how to do it? I think this one from the legacy React docs still applies, but it's a bit short and too easy to conflate OOP and Prop inheritance

    Regarding GraphQL and performance. Since the Quora article, have there been any new write-ups on before/after when migrating a system with many small [fetch-as-you-render] queries to one that has only a few comprehensive [render-as-you-fetch] queries?
