The worst developer hell I've ever been through was fighting through figuring out poorly documented SOAP APIs. Why the hell would you wish that pain on anyone.

- tannhaeuser 8y ago> The worst developer hell I've ever been through was fighting through figuring out poorly documented SOAP APIs. Except for undocumented "REST" APIs with totally arbitrary encodings of parameters into URL path steps and query parms, and needless excessive network roundtrips. Frameworks such as JAX-RS, Spring, and Swagger/Open API even invite you to use "subresources" as out-of-band agreed URL schemes ("lousy coupling"), totally missing the entire point of REST: that you dynamically learn interactions on "resources" via hyperlink URLs as a means for loose coupling.
