GraphQL: The Documentary

[@OliverGomes]

Honeypot!!!!! HATS OFF! for creating such gems for developers, your channel is like Netflix for developers! Also, I will be waiting patiently for the React Documentary 😍

[@jmontis2]

i find this so interesting as a new computer science student and wannabe iOS developer

Beautiful!! This is officially the first coolest and nerdiest software documentary ever!

[@TheNitramlxl]

I disagree: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iauudpxrdq2NnJY However, it is a very nice documentary.

Never imagined coding tech could have a documentary. Cool!

[@thewarriors3048]

Why not? It's the foundation for the world at this point.

It's amazing what a bunch of highly motivated engineers can achieve.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Oof.

[@IbsaUtube]

Can’t praise this documentary enough. First of its kind, not too nerdy, inspiring. Gentle music, transition shots and silence used wisely. I love that the focus stayed on the developers, not the person asking the questions. It showcases how an amazing group of engineers put in the hard work and creativity to solve a problem and make the solution public.

[@Honeypotio]

Thanks for the love! We have a bunch more coming down the pipeline that I'm sure you'll enjoy!

[@slackstation]

19:44 This is such a beautiful shot. I'd never think that computer monitors could make such nice diffuse lighting, the balance of the subject against the colors of the background. There are so many little pieces like this all through this documentary series. I'm a dev and of course, I love the content of the story telling but, the art isn't left behind. It makes the story sing.

[@Honeypotio]

As a filmmaker it's encouraging to hear when people notice the little details of your work 😉Thanks, man! Comments like these keep me going 🙏

[@slackstation]

I've watched all the Docs. And a bunch of the mini-docs. They are so good. The Ember.js one was especially touching to see the community aspect. They are really well done. They do such a good job of humanizing the developers behind these projects. It's easy to just see them as github projects, pull requests, stars, twitter comments and even speakers at conferences. These docs get to heart of who these people are outside the context of code or just technical problems. Do you have any other work I could see? I'm actually curious about that and maybe even some behind the scenes/making of stuff. You guys are flying around the world, talking to interesting people. Just a thought. Keep challenging yourselves and making beautiful work.

[@Honeypotio]

@@slackstation We are working on a ton more documentaries - bigger productions this time. I can tell you a little bit of secret insider information if you like: The next major project we are working on is so big that it will have to be split into two parts, and for it we will be collaborating with a company who's name rhymes with Doogle 🤫 don't tell anyone! Behind the scenes isn't really something we do, but I sometimes post behind the scenes video to my personal Instagram. You can find it here if you're interested: instagram.com/josiahmcgarvie/

[@GavinLon]

Excellent documentary! I love the fact that these developers took the initiative to engineer something that could be extended far beyond the bounds of their initial requirement. It shows tremendous creativity, which is my favourite part of being a developer.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Question: why not just use a JSON API?

[@KelvinMeeks]

The key difference is in the ability to easily craft a query - that results in a dynamically traversed data graph - assembling the bits into the response. The alternative, in SOA, SOAP, or a traditional RESTful JSON API - is the fixed request/response semantics of the API contract.
