Elongate the Fraudster
Twitter uses Thrift internally, which is likely what he’s referring to
RPC is a generic term
What shocked me is how that engineer didn't know what an RPC was.
This is how slackers at twitter were sucking money and dick of right people to stay afloat
Where did he say he didn't know? He was just saying Elon's analysis of performance issue was incorrect
RPC is an interaction pattern, and GraphQL is just one possible implementation of web services (which are, in fact, RPCs). So, Elon's post makes sense.
eh not exactly but that doesn’t matter. it’s pretty obvious elon didn’t literally mean “RPC”. if he’d said SOAP or something ok but we all know RPC is meant generically here. and … he was still wrong
Elon is claiming the client is making 1k+ requests over the network. But in reality it’s making single request, and backend handles all the smaller requests. It’s a well known technique, like api gateway. Elon is a moron.
Musk is Trump 2.0 He will make up shit and his fan base will support it at all costs 😆
When is the Apple car coming to market?
Who cares
Elon doesn't know what he is talking about.
It’s been working fine, before he bought it. Now it’s lagging and failing all the time. Firing 50% of engineers might have something to do with it. But what do I know?
I don’t like Musk. But saying a distributed system only uses GraphQL is laughable. Something only a front end engineer would say
GraphQL queries can internally call RPCs.
Mb, I'm a new grad and never used GraphQL before tbh.
Then why do you post like you’re the authority on the subject ?
