@unclejesse.bsky.social Check out the remastered Expedition 33 track. I recall you highlighting some issues with the original set where it got grindy when things got busy but they seemed to have cleared that up. x.com/lorien_testa...

That said, Shopify does GraphQL for 3rd party usage but that feels a bit heavy IMO. I think GraphQL works nicely when you own both clients and API. REST makes more sense when you own API but not the client implementations.

I view this more through the lens of what different customers expect. We're moving towards GraphQL for our first-party clients but want to provide REST APIs to 3rd party developers and advertisers since that is a better experience.

Oh! To the TypeSpec project we're working on the GraphQL emitter. More broadly we want TypeSpec to provide a unified schema for all of our API customers versus fragmenting schemas based on what the particular interface is (e.g. GraphQL vs. OpenAPI).

TypeSpec is exciting and we're investing in it at Pinterest too! I would gently challenge the statement that OpenAPI is easy to use for humans given its verbosity compared to TypeSpec (i.e. you can express the same thing in TypeSpec vs. OpenAPI in significantly less written code).

Obrigado, Pedro!

OpenAPI Is Not Enough There are things you simply can't do with OpenAPI.

"I used to think OpenAPI was the best way to define REST APIs. And I bet you think that way, too. After all, OpenAPI has so many benefits that it's easy to ignore its drawbacksβ€”until you feel them, that is."

The Five People You Meet in the Final Fantasy Discourse Final Fantasy is a beloved series, with a consistently large profile in the RPG world since 1987.

The Final Fantasy discourse is a huge place.

But one could argue it’s basically populated by five different people.

Yup, that’s what I’m doing today πŸŽ‰

PSA: if you write v.pow(2f) (also .pow(3f)) on Android, please write v * v instead. pow() is a (relatively) expensive function call that won't get optimized away (yet). On a Pixel 6, pow(2f) is 5x slower than a multiplication. For long expressions, use inline fun square(v: Float) = v * v
