> After running from September 2000 through July 2001, seeing the first class to graduation, the program was forced to shut down.

> It fails completely for large classes.

Large in-person classes you don't even have discussions. Some universities have lecture halls of 400-600 students, and you have to go ask a TA for help later in the week

> can create a GraphQL server and essentially ... have their app brought to its knees trying to fulfill an intentionally complicated query is kind of concerning

I've seen this denial of service attack against SQL/Relational databases as well, and I imagine if it triggers more read replicas, that a large bill could be caused as well

so it's not unique to GraphQL

That editor (in the gif) is really cool. Does anyone know if it's homebuilt, or if they used a library for that?
