I never got the edges and nodes thing, and every time I have worked with a graphql endpoint that did, I was indeed very annoyed.

Feels like something that came with a graph database, and people tried to blindly copy it.

Graphql code generator is great though. Absolutely wonderful. Makes it really hard to go back to rest.

We left out edges and nodes from our GraphQL API because of how confusing they are. But the downside is that we had to add a <collection>Stats object for each collection type to support meta data like the count. Still it seems to be easier this way for non-developers to learn. And the API consumers are mostly not developers, like account managers and accountants, usually via GraphiQL.
