The job is not to build what people ask for. It’s to find the pain-point and take the risk of building something better.

Sometimes I hear that it was a mistake to build Vendure on top of GraphQL. "Too complex", "Can't be cached", "Poor performance", "It was all hype" And yes, every technology has its tradeoffs. I've been around long enough to know that. There *are* some aspects you need to

AI can generate your backend now. LLMs can write your schema. But they still can’t tell you if it solves a real problem. Don’t be married to the solution. Be married to the problem. Click here to watch/listen to the full episode: youtu.be/vo-1l5gPhwQ

19% slowdown from AI coding tools? The study was 16 devs, all contributing to open-source. This study doesn’t exactly reflect real-world coding.

Maybe the problem isn’t how to federate GraphQL. Maybe the problem is thinking you have to use GraphQL. Don’t be married to the solution. Be married to the problem.

Most teams don’t need more engineers. They need fewer blockers. Luxury Presence simplified their architecture, unified around one graph, and stopped duplicating effort across layers. wundergraph.com/blog/cosmo-cas…

We thought GraphQL was the answer. Then we thought Federation was the answer. Now we’re building collaboration tooling, because the real problem was never just APIs. Great conversation with Kevin Swiber on The Good Thing about MCP, governance, and what still matters in 2025.

We keep trying to replace APIs. Just throw logic in an MCP server and call it a day. But the moment you need to share that with more than one consumer, guess what you're building? An API.

In our heads: “Everyone’s using multi-agent workflows to automate their lives.” In reality: “Wait, there’s a new .NET runtime?” The bleeding edge feels normal until you leave the bubble. Most people are just trying to get their job done.

The best devtools don’t start with features. They start with a deep understanding of how engineers work at scale. Tomorrow we sit down with Planet Scale's Sam Lambert to talk DevEx and more. Live at 1:30 PM ET on The Good Thing. linkedin.com/events/7356456…
