There’s a moment in the upcoming #GraphQLDocumentary from @schrockn: “Lee brought deep hardcore computer science; he can write a parser, a compiler.”

I’m the only one of our team without a CS background or degree. I had impostor syndrome for years and taught myself to catch up.
I actually learned how grammars and parsers worked to improve our GraphQL parser. I read everything I could get my hands on so I would sound competent to my team.

That last minute research put all the context in my fresh memory to make choices informed by open source
Same with compilers. I learned how compilers worked by digging in LLVM and Babel (very different) to learn how to build a better validator and executor for GraphQL. Open source projects were my research material.
