#api360
"Patterns & Practices for RESTful Web APIs: @mamund talks about his new @OReillyMedia Cookbook" and explains what a cookbook is and how he has assembled ~70 recipes for #API design, clients, servers, data exposure, and workflow management. It's delicious!

to emphasize @kniklas point (from Christopher Alexander via my @webapicookbook)
"The difference between the novice and the teacher is simply that the novice has not learnt, yet, how to do things in such a way that they can afford to make small mistakes..."

This. Continually this.
We see so much of what people are doing, what problems they face, what they talk about. But we still only see a fraction of the user base. There are LOADS. We have to build cars while they are asking for faster horses.
smh I make for such a foot-in-mouth person, hadn't even realized you're a CCIE @that1guy_15, sorry for my trash talking CCIEs there from back then it was really a handful of particular and highly infuriating & awkward conversations I had IRL which ain't exactly a fair sample size
Here you go, but PLEASE do keep in mind I don't mean that particular subtweet of mine, I mean *the entire multibranch thread* (& I don't know whether anyone or anything could help you if you went into the quote tweets, good lord, the horror infinitatis.):
@JohnOusterhout so uh… the above is a very long thread, but I do have to ask, given this article in The Register:
theregister.com/2022/07/27/r…
Any particular reason you don't even cite any of the Delta-t & RINA research in your preprint? Or just bad luck during literature research?
Now, some of you may recall @apenwarr's¹ apenwarr.ca/log/20170810, and that's all fine and dandy and it's own brilliant great gigantic house of technology horrors but what I'll point you to next, well… you'll see.
¹ btw. if anyone wants an untag please *just say the word or w/e*
Folks, I 💛 your enthusiasm, and find it now time for an unexpected diversion deep into networking technology (don't boo, you'll love it after you grok it), please hold for your next available operator while I align some beads on a string by which I mean locate the relevant tweet
