I disagree. I don't think it's too much to ask of software developers to be the bare minimum of competent enough to wire up a basic web service in whatever lang

I disagree. I don't think it's too much to ask of software developers to be the bare minimum of competent enough to wire up a basic web service in whatever language they are dealing. REST is not complex.
- onion2k 2y agoREST is not complex. REST isn't complex, but API design is still hard. Making a strategic choice not to design a service API but to ship the same code in two places is valid, and arguably the right one if that's what the teams skills lend themselves to.
- baq 2y agoOver the past two decades I’ve seen a well implemented RESTful API exactly once, in a relatively small project. The rest of REST apis are ad-hoc RPC over HTTP, I’d argue because it isn’t complex and complexity moves to the client.
