 Reading the issue, Kyle's reasoning made sense but this didn't seem to be simple at all. 0.x seemed more “automatic” to me.  Drop in your files and go.

 ## Digging Deeper
 
 I'm not the type of person to settle on “It's working so don't touch anything”. So I started digging into how Gatsby 1.x works—particular the [data layer](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-four/#data-in-gatsby).
 
-Things really clicked when I read this part  about GraphiQL and watched how to drill down on the data.

-Prior to reading / seeing that part in the documentation, looking at the code I could understand roughly what was going on but it didn’t feel familiar.  Like anything new there’s that “I don’t know what I’m doing” stage.  I know what I want to do, but I don’t understand the syntax enough to make it happen.  Seeing the docs and how you can explore the schema in GraphiQl (autocomplete is 👌) to see what data is available really helped in my “play around and break stuff” phase.

 ## That's a wrap
 
-With my 1.x update complete, I'm feeling that not only was GatsbyJS a solid pick but something that is going to evolve the way I build websites. It's a nice starter push into GraphQL and many other advanced features the websites of the future will need to be performant.  Sometimes we don’t do things because they are unfamiliar to us.  Sometimes we need a little push.  Thanks for the push GatsbyJS.  The learning curve may seem daunting but the payoff is huge.  GatsbyJS has become a powerful tool and I’ve extended my development skills.
