    Maybe somebody should comment in this thread about GraphQL being better than RESTful API's - then I'd really feel right at home back in 2014

    You think people are better at estimating what 3300 bags of sugar look like - as opposed to estimating the size of a car? How often has anyone ever seen 3300 bags of sugar together…
