What does this mean for the network and Bitcoin?”The Impact on Bitcoin MiningOnce upon a time, people at home could make some money from Bitcoin mining, but that ended some time ago. The Impact on Bitcoin’s PriceUnless you are a miner, how many Bitcoin owners can honestly say that they are concerned about the impact on mining.

How to Find Market Fit for Data Products

By the time I entered the bar on that rainy spring afternoon, Justin had already started on his cocktail. It had been a few months since I saw him last; after his product design firm ended their work with my previous healthcare technology employer, he had taken on some new projects and it was tough to find time to connect. I had recently left that employer myself to take on a new job that ticked all the boxes- pay raise, prestigious company, work from home, great boss. Plenty of changes to catch up on.

GraphQL, GraphQuill, and You

The GraphQL query language can fix this overfetching problem, by allowing for unnecessary information to be ignored much earlier. There are other things GraphQL is good at, including bundling requests into a single API call, and in streamlining type checking. But the purpose of GraphQL, the core idea, is that it is possible for servers to be more dynamic in asking a server for information. GraphQL started at Facebook, and has spread to replace RESTful database calls at companies like The New York Times, Twitter, and GitHub. GraphQuill is a young, incremental product, that solves a specific problem for a specific subset of GraphQL users, just like GraphQL itself solves a set of specific problems for software engineers.
