I'm just gonna say I wish this guy (Rich himself) records the talk he performed at our local Ruby meetup last week.
As important as a GraphQL alternative is at face value, he explained quite elegantly how he and his coworkers came to this solution. I do insist, like I did in person, that as a frustrated GraphQL noobie and fumbler with Prisma, I'm super glad to see alternative tools and mindsets and will being try it as soon as I have time for personal tinkering.
Even if hypothetically I didn't choose this with a clean slate over more popular GraphQL tools, he did a great job at placing deep technical architecture choices in the context of his philosophy and experience, Ruby and otherwise. Spraypaint also seems cool.

A pleasure to see you on HN, man.
