GraphQL is like going into burger king and "having it your way". REST is more like the kind of establishment which has a tastefully designed menu which you don't overly futz with. HATEOAS is the slightly chatty sommelier who offers the nice wines which go well with each course. xitter.cf/NikkitaFTW/status/1011…

We've rolled out the first productized support for #openapi overlays - Specify the OpenAPI edits you want to make in a separate file to handle multiple use cases from a single spec!
Credit to @lornajane & @PermittedSoc for their evangelism of overlays

AI is paving the way for new API tools that anyone can use.
One of those tools is LintGPT, Optic's recently released natural language API linter.

We all know "bad" API error responses, but what do "good" ones look like?
Our latest post explores the new HTTP Problems standard, RFC 9457 (replaces RFC 8707), and how consistent errors make life better for both API consumers and producers.

How would you design an experiment for the hypothesis below?
You're a scientist from a universe in which computers have not been invented. You've discovered a functional smart TV and have devoted your life to understanding how it works. After many years, you suspect the object possesses a quality you call "software". How would you test your hypothesis?

I've published the first "wish list" agenda for SW2con.com . This is a beginning list of "pointers" and isn't meant to be all-inclusive. If you've got something surprising, inspiring, technically deep and future-looking, send it my way!

If you're selling an #API product, you want nothing standing between your user and making their first API request.
That's why we're shipping code sandboxes in every SDK we create: bit.ly/3RUEgHr
A Readme is all your users need to start testing out your API

Are there any good conferences that are focused on developer tools?? Am I missing something obvious, or is there a big gap in the market? Feels like everything is scoped to very narrow communities or individual product and there's nothing general.
