The Weekend Warrior Adoption Hypothesis
Sam tells Ryan about his recipes side project built with React, GraphQL and Hasura. They chat about how small "magic moments" that developers experience lead to new technologies getting adopted at organizations, how to use Mirage with GraphQL, and why developer experience and user success can trump architectural correctness when it comes to making choices between technologies.
