- VikingCoder 10y agoWhy should you ever use any high-level API ever again? High level APIs tend to change. It's because they add value right now that would be hard to add in any other way.
- patmcguire 10y agoYeah, but there's the Stripe kind you can sort of rely on to be there, and then there's the kind that is basically guaranteed to go away.
- VikingCoder 10y agoI disagree with your fundamental premise. Companies go out of business all the time.
