  1. Okay, I finished a third or fourth rewrite of this basic intro to web APIs from a few years ago.

    I might revisit some of the older tutorials as well. Yeah, I know, vibe coding is all the rage these days.

    Still, someone might appreciate this.

  6. Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal's Parallel Web Systems raised $100M from Sequoia at a $2B valuation, marking a 2.7x increase from November. The company builds APIs enabling AI agents to search and extract web data with citations and confidence scores. Sequoia's bet: agentic web access becomes standalone infrastructure rather than a feature bundled into model APIs. #AIInfrastructure #WebAPIs #AIAgents

  12. I was going to post this under @botwiki, but polls on that server are limited to only 4 options (can you imagine?), so let me ask here:

    Which social media APIs do you use the most for development nowadays? (Not as a user, please see reply for the distinction.)

  17. #WebAPIs #APIs #TypeSpec #APIDesign #APIDocumentation #OpenAPI #DX #DeveloperExperience: "As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of API design, it’s crucial that we don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Although tools like TypeSpec offer enticing promises of simplified development and improved developer experience, we must approach them with a critical eye. The allure of code-like constructs should not come at the cost of collaborative, human-centered design principles. OpenAPI, for all its complexities, has made significant strides in democratizing API design and fostering cross-functional collaboration. Let’s not sacrifice all that on the altar of curly braces." passo.uno/typespec-openapi-api

  27. I was this years old when I learned about Prefer HTTP header: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/
    My use case involved allowing API clients to opt-into receiving `204 No Content` response which can be solved by `Prefer: response=minimal` request header. And there are some other goodies, like async responses.

  31. If your web dev business is serious or becomes at one point. How come it may be really serious if you don't build integration tests.

    I can not imagine doing anything without them. OK, you can go without them if you have a fantastic QA backup and devs do not test except run a sanity build and run. But still. Com'on.
