The Good, The Bad and The API
summary
The talk examines real-world API integrations, using case studies to show practical issues that arise after an API is designed. It names common warning signs and heuristics the presenter uses to judge whether a new API integration will be pleasant or painful, focusing on usability, evolvability, and developer experience rather than just clean code.
