That's an inappropriate generalization. This is why you're getting so many comments accusing you of egotism and ignorance. You're speaking as if an expert in GraphQL when you haven't used it, and you're insisting that no one can possibly use it well.

Even if you feel strongly, it is never okay to insist that "serious" software developers will or will not use a particular technology.

I am not sure, but I think this is the first comment I've had accusing me of egotism? I have 2,169 reactions, 216 comments this week alone, and I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think I've seen that word before in any of my comments. So I'll take your advice, and quote you here ^_^

Nope, the burden is actually on you, author

Except this time you are the author ... ;)

Okay. Here's a direct link to the source. If you read through these comments - you should be able to do that in under an hour - you'll see all the cases where people have expressed consternation at your ignorance and warned you that you were making claims that outstripped both your admitted expertise and your cited information.

I know you really enjoy being snarky and pretending you got one over on others, but you're really just making yourself look like the goat. I've learned how to read a lot of non-verbal cues over the years. Rest assured, the flavor of snark people are using in responding to you is indicative of the fact that you have made yourself an object of humor and derision.

The word of dispute was not ignorance, it was egotism my friend ... ;)

These are two distinctly different words according to the Oxford Dictionary of English. However, I think we'll end the debate here ...

Goodbye ... :/
