I am baffled any time I'm on facebook how horrid it is. Loads insanely slowly, won't accept picture uploads at random, randomly doesn't let you share to people in your friends group (it will just hide people for no reason). Such a terrible website. Sadly I have to stay on it for friends and music reasons (there is nothing else anyone I know uses) but man, it's crazy how badly they want you to install their spyware app so you don't use the browser version.

But the libraries the FB devs publish are considered state of the art on the web frontend community!

And if you complain, there's always somebody to say "if you are so good, why aren't you working at FAANG?"

I’ve been blocking Facebook for years but I have to say as a developer I’m absolutely in love with GraphQL. I really can’t stand having to continue development on REST APIs (though I’m equally obsessed with Conditional GET Requests as of late).

GraphQL has all the right combination of abstracting a really hard problem, ignoring the hard details, and giving you enough toggles to pretend you can solve the worst problems that makes hyping it really, really easy.
