graphql and react is better than what we were doing 10 years ago and is way easier than rolling your own custom backend and frontend abstractions because react and graphql have a large ecosystem of resources of people using these technologies to build a variety of different apps, with tons of example code available on Github
People who complain about CRUD should also describe what they think they want. It seems to either cash out into zero boilerplate (no code) or something else that we seem to already have but just isn’t so compelling that it becomes ubiquitous.
CRUD is easier than ever and frankly not the pain point of software. Banishing boilerplate also isn’t a goal without trade offs, so it’s not a good litmus test to how good our tools are.
