Here are six reasons why.\n\n[Robert Balicki on Isograph, agent orchestration, GraphQL, and more](#robert-balicki-on-isograph-agent-orchestration-graphql-and-more)\n\nRobert Balicki is prolific.

That's good news!\n\n[Rolling your own GraphQL client?](#rolling-your-own-graphql-client)\n\nProbably a bad idea.
