APIs You Won't Hate

Phil, Mike and Matt talk about Matt's adventures with APIs returning 200 OK while having an error message in the body, causing extra work and frustration. We look at why this is a common thing in API development and what we can do to help people utilize the codes that are there instead of relying on 200 OK. Mike brings up Microsoft and what they are doing with their push to not only go Carbon Neutral but also Carbon Negative to make up for their past. We wonder what that will look like, and also bring up what an individual person with a developers salary can do to start helping out more since we (developers) can generally afford it over a lot of other people. Keeping on the environment, we also take look at some things a developer can do with code to help the environment, particularly around caching and responses.

A while ago, we put out a call to Twitter to invite listeners to send us their questions and we would answer them. We received 4 really good questions, covering topics like supporting content negotiation, how to craft and and define an SLA for your API, why companies seem to disregard standards when it comes to their API SDKs and should you version hypermedia.Sponsors:Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring you this podcast while we nerd out about APIs.

Last time on APIs You Won't Hate, we laid the ground work for this podcast. This time (after a failed attempt when Phil didn't press record) Mike, Phil, and Matt talk about whats new with Stoplight, how front end developers like Mike can use the Stoplight suite of OSS products to make Front End Development better, and where they are with the books!Sponsors:Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring you this podcast while we nerd out about APIs.
