Useful heuristics. Mooted by coworker's incomprehension, poor craftsmanship, and beligerent disregard for received wisdom.
In other words, all HTTP APIs devolve into screen scrapping, which is actively thwarted by terrible libraries. So just give up any expectations and do whatever scores the most agile scrum kanban karma on your team.
- sanderjd 5y agoI'll confess that, like the Fielding dissertation, I also can't make heads or tails of this comment.
- specialist 5y agoToo cynical? Distrust any one who claims they do understand. Because they don't. Our study group chewed thru REST in Practice. It's very reasonable, approachable. Good advice for a lot of design choices that you'll likely run into. Sadly, REST is like Agile. It's not possible for any two people to reach consensus on any aspect, big or small. And just like Agile, REST doesn't matter. What ever you do will be wrong. So just smile and play along.
- sanderjd 5y agoOk this I understand, and agree with, to a decent degree.
