ots of GraphQL talk on the channel this week!

Is MCP better with GraphQL?

I think so. Here are six reasons why.

Robert Balicki on Isograph, agent orchestration, GraphQL, and more

Robert Balicki is prolific. I loved hearing his deep dive on fragments, the right way to build full-stack apps with Isograph, and how to orchestrate agents with his Barnum framework.

HTTP QUERY is coming to GraphQL

GraphQL-Over-HTTP has a new open PR that specifies how to use the new QUERY verb in HTTP for GraphQL queries. That's good news!

Rolling your own GraphQL client?

Probably a bad idea. I've seen folks try to do it, and the benefits are almost always outweighed by the costs.
