I wonder if we can add a photo or two to the blog post, perhaps the one of Matt on stage taken by Jean Lucas. There's also a couple I took of you, Benjie and Lee at the all hands.

| Elena Bukareva and Braxton Bragg from Meta followed with what may have been the most memorable talk of the conference: "The Creator's Curse: Why Meta Is Re-inventing GraphQL." In 2015, Meta promised GraphQL would be "easy to learn and use." Ten years and hundreds of billions of daily API calls later, not all of those promises survived contact with thousands of engineers. The keynote was a rare, candid look behind the curtain — which assumptions didn't hold, which complexity traps emerged, and what's now driving a new wave of reinvention at GraphQL's birthplace. | ||

| Benjie Gillam of Graphile and Kewei Qu of Meta closed the opening day's keynote block with "Creating a Golden Path for GraphQL." The argument: GraphQL's precise specification has delivered incredible interoperability and a rich ecosystem — but it hasn't guaranteed that every adopter has a great experience. Some leave disillusioned by performance pitfalls, security concerns, and complexity that wasn't visible at the outset. The talk was a call to action for the community to be more intentional about making the right path also the easy path. |
