Comments by "yapdog" (@yapdog) on "GraphQL Basics - Build an app with the SpaceX API" video.

Nnnnope. I don't want to code even a single line of this. And I've been coding for over 3 decades. Yeah, call me old, but we've made life so fvcking difficult with all of these APIs just to do what should be a very simple thing. We now have a development culture that takes great pride in this overcomplexity as if it's some kind of worthwhile accomplishment or badge of honor. However, it's all just some things that others have stacked on top of other things... a series of Band-Aids over a core wound. The end result? Programmers today are faster to experience burnout and stress, feeling like they need to know all of these APIs which will be "dead" in a few years. Hell, there are already so many videos touting the death of GraphQL!!! This is shear madness.
