Well, if we're being truthful, none of us use REST. We're all just cherry-picking the parts of it that work for our organizations... and that's absolutely fine

Well, if we're being truthful, none of us use REST. We're all just cherry-picking the parts of it that work for our organizations... and that's absolutely fine. The programtic discoverability portion of REST always struck me as pretty poorly thought-out anyways.

- munk-a 3y agoWell, not all of REST - the discoverability portion isn't supported by pretty much anyone (because, IMO, it's just not useful).
- the_gastropod 3y agoI think you missed the point. You 100% use it every day. You’re using it on this website right now. Your web browser shows you what actions you’re able to take against the HN api. Neat, huh?
