Article makes no sense to me. He is just advocating for RESTful architecture in API design, which hardly matches the controversialist tone. At the same time it completely ignores anything but the simplest read-only API with a 1:1 mapping to public resources. It's like trying to make an argument about aircraft design whilst referencing a bicycle.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoI see these "embrace my programming paradigm via my awful, mixed-context, confusing argument" on HN more and more. Seems to me it's just some project-managment-type thinking in abstract high-level ways of how much easier his business would be if everyone thought just like he did. Well, guess what, there's nothing particularly valuable about your perspective. In fact, it sucks and it's wrong. Even Jeff Bezos perspective is wrong and stupid, but he paid 10,000 developers to embrace it. Just because your job would be so much easier if everyone architecture their data so you wouldn't have to doesn't mean anyone has a reason to. Maybe instead of me creating a single standard API for you to scrape my content, you fuck off and take your money with you? How does that sound? I think we have an agreement. (this is what every website ever has said).
