One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

GraphQL error handling sucks. There, I said it.
Null checks everywhere, and ambiguity: error, or true null? We've all been there.

There were only about 50 skins which were not already in our collection. Further confirmation that the museum's >101,000 skins represent the vast majority of all skins ever created.
I’ve been made aware of a 2013 “panic download” archive of downloads.nullsoft.com containing ~60k Winamp skins.
Downloaded and hashing all the files to find any which are not already in the Winamp Skin Museum.

Exciting progress today! Called with @capt.dev about the React "concurrent stores" prototype, and we brainstormed potential Redux integration issues.
I then whipped up a prototype branch that reworks `useSelector` to use the prototype, and _most_ tests pass!

Been using this repo to iterate on API ideas for a concurrent compatible store for React. Still exploratory but excited that we’re very close to something that we can start trying out with existing data stores and start an iteration cycle based on what we learn.
Had a great discussion with @capt.dev about the work he and Justin Walsh are doing prototyping React's "concurrent store" API. Really excited to see the active WIP ideas like this PR:
github.com/thejustinwal...
hopefully we'll get to try this out with React-Redux soon and see what's feasible!
