Haven't been active much here, sorry, AI-in-OSS burnout is real. How do you care when nobody else does? When nobody engages? When all the human connection is gone? When all you read is AI slop? I want to go back to coding for fun. Because whatever this is, it's very much _not_ fun.

been 2 years but @jovidecroock.com and I just closed out 20+ gql.tada issues (🏃 faster turbo typegen, larger repo support, typed readResult for tests, LSP tweaks, ...) big release, but same conclusion: the GraphQL + TS DX of gql.tada is quite a nice sweet spot 🔖 gql-tada.0no.co/devlog/2026-...
