If your workplace is solving FAANG type problems sure you would want someone who supports the concept of GQL.

Is everyone you know solving FAANG problems? If they are not are they emulating those FAANG companies tooling because they expect to be one or work at one in the future? Or is it a type signaling?

There is this over tooling over scaling wave going on.

Most startups fail because in their limited investments they over tool and under sell.

Do you work at a startup or a FAANG?

GQL has solved legitimate problems for us at scale, and is flexible enough to be used on some of our smaller projects as well.

I don't see the tradeoff that people are talking about, with GQL there has been nothing but upside.
