No, but several small apps in my organization suffer from a similar problem. Gaps in the application cause users to either make mistakes or want to do "batch" type operations so users create some awful spreadsheet that gets sent

I have used "immutable" schema designs when there were strong requirements for full audit needs over time. It works very well even in a normal RDBMs system. It also allows some very neat reporting e.g. compare the same report at

Finding staff is an interesting negative of Clojure to mention. I searched for a Clojure job off-and-on for several years in the 2012-2018 timeframe. I had attended the very first Clojure/conj in 2010 and had development projects in p

I got a lot of value reading through The Little Schemer and How to Design Programs to learn FP "thinking". I'm sure those two books are gathering dust over at your university library. I was unbelievably unexposed to FP in

I enjoyed the Amundsenn book mentioned by irene_t and the collection+json specification, but found that my API consumers ignored the links in the collection+json response in favor of hardcoding URLs in their consuming apps. Although my swin

Was your use of REST/HATEOAS mostly internal to your company or dev team? I ask because I rolled out a REST/HATEOAS api for a multi-org project and got zero uptake on the HATEOAS aspect of responses. The devs hardcoded URL resour

I designed a REST API with a "well-documented" HATEOAS representation (collection+json). The primary requirement was to ensure there was no caller-side language dependency because we had multiple teams that would be calling the A

I think that the bigger problem is that developers just don't get taught any way to think about coding other than the object-oriented, use-Java-for-everything approach. I sometimes think I could have massively accelerated my ability to
