It is trivial. It's literally only about preserving the old api.
- ggggtez 9y agoBut how will you move fast and break things if you spend all your time supporting old api?
- eesmith 9y agoWhich takes us back to my first question: "If it's so simple, then why isn't it more common?"
- CaptSpify 9y agoJust because something is trivial doesn't mean that anyone has to care enough to keep doing it. It's not more common because we as an industry have a terrible habit of designing systems to be non self-maintaining.
- dboreham 9y agoBased on my experience (which admittedly is extensive and has been expensive due to BigNetCo changing their APIs) it isn't more common because there are business reasons behind the changes. There was a reason why some API was dropped and that reason doesn't involve your life being pleasant and rewarding..
