> If you work for a certain company and you recommend it, you should disclose that you work for said company.

>> I see no good reason to accept that proposition.

You should absolutely disclose that you work for Hasura when talking about Hasura. Like the other commenter mentioned, this is basic decency on this medium. Failure to do so will reflect very poorly on you and your employer here.

Why? No, seriously. Why? Have I tried to persuade people to use Hasura? No. Have I tried to persuade people that it's good or better than the competition? No. In fact, I only mentioned it in equal terms along with two other competitors, which I DON'T work for (Postgraphile and Supabase, both good products).

What I have done is present not matters of judgment, but matters of fact.

Fact: Apollo is not _the_ GraphQL company.

Fact: Apollo isn't the only one with a GraphQL client library

Fact: Apollo isn't the only path to creating a GraphQL server

As matters of fact, these are either true or false, but readers are free to evaluate which they are on their own. They shouldn't trust me, because I'm a stranger on the Internet. But then again so are you and so are most or all people here.

You say that if I don't disclose who I work for people will trust me less. That's silly, because people here shouldn't trust me at all, nor should they trust you, or anyone else, for the reasons I just gave.

In short: don't accept without careful scrutiny anything you read on the Internet, no matter who says it.

I consider that to be misleading selective editing. Here's a more faithful representation of that missive:

> For the back-end, Apollo Server absolutely can be beat by tools that don't require you to write any code:

> https://supabase.com/blog/pg-graphql

> https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/

> https://hasura.io/

The careful reader will note that I presented three alternatives, with the one provided by my company last. Moreover, what I wrote is in fact a matter of fact. If you wish to have a GraphQL server without having to write server code to do it, as fine a product as Apollo is you cannot use Apollo to do it because that's not what Apollo does.
