Twitter seem to have an institutional blindess towards the importance of APIs. Their execs need to be sat down and have it drummed into them that breeding this much bad “karma” (for lack of a better term) is going to come back and bite them in the ass.
- busterarm 8y agoThis is the same company with NIH Syndrome severe enough to in-house their own woefully-under-performing message queue. Twice. And they blamed Rails after the first go of it. I'm not sure they know what interop means.
- dickbasedregex 8y agoYup. They started the "rails don't scale" narrative. Something something, a good craftsman doesn't blame his tools.

- ceejayoz 8y ago> Twitter seem to have an institutional blindness towards the importance of APIs. Which is especially weird for Twitter. Their official iOS client was a third-party API client they bought. Third-parties created @replies, #hashtags, etc. If anyone should recognize the important of third-parties using APIs, it should be Twitter... yet they've been probably the most abusive of the large APIs.
