You don't get to be a billionaire unless you do smart things like Elon

For example, stating Twitter is slow due to RPCs, but Twitter doesn't use RPC, it uses GraphQL 🤡

I saw it too, I was making a post about it this morning like "if you use mobile Twitter expect outages, Elon just sacked possibly the one guy who knew how to keep the whole sh*t together" lolol

@Elessar he has a dedicated legion of dick riders. One guy was literally claiming GraphQL is less efficient than SQL 🤡

@basilfawlty89 Hear me out, why not reimplement the whole backend with a single `POST /sql` route?

Publicly accessible of course, so it'll be even faster without having to waste time doing authentication? Maximum efficiency! Even better if we do it over QUIC or WebSockets!
