It's a big week for us, we discover that Spencer wants to hang up his laptop for a lathe and be a wood worker and why Jon is living MTV's Big Brother - sharing a living space with strangers.
Microsoft is rebuilding their apps with React Native, there's been several important albeit un-exciting updates to React and Node and we talk about NPM trying to go to war with Yarn.
For this week's topic we dive into what GraphQL is (and is not), why it's pretty cool and we cover both client and server implementations including 3rd party services.
