0x021 - Durable Workflows 🔄

0x012 - tRPC 🪢
Problem: It’s hard and bug-prone to share API endpoints (including types) between our server and client.
Solution: tRPC leverages TypeScript to share types between the server and client without code generation or schemas.

Problem: WebGL (JS API for rendering graphics in browsers) is outdated, not performant, and lacks low-level API access.
Solution: Use modern graphic APIs built from the ground up with performance in mind.
