(Part 4/12): Backward Compatibility of APIs. At Snowpal, we are close enough to launching our first API so other technology businesses can consume it, thereby focusing more on their core business problems and delivering quicker. In this API Gateway series, I'll be sharing a lot of those details. If you have an interest in doing something similar, I hope it benefits you. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

(Part 1/12): You may have heard about API-First strategies. What does it mean to build your APIs first? What is an API Gateway?

There's no dearth of UI templates and a lot of them certainly look promising but is the reality a bit different? #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

You were given some Business Requirements. You understood them, converted them to Technical Requirements, designed it nicely, implemented it beautifully and tested it phenomenally well. At this point, you think you are ready to deploy those changes to Production. Sure about that? #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

Well, we've seen that they do not. We created nested directories in our Postman Collections only to notice that they didn't convert gracefully to OpenAPI when transformed. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

We recently implemented Microsoft Sign In, and had added support for Google Sign In a few weeks earlier. And we've had support for Facebook and Apple Sign In from Day 1. They all support OAuth 2.0 yet we've had to deal with some nuances. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

It's nice to have a cool UI. Sure, who likes dated stuff! But, it is important that by making your UI cooler, you don't end up making it unstable. And if you are wondering why they have anything to do with each other, listen in! #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

We had a need to dynamically create Postman Workspaces (collections and endpoints) as part of the API Gateway Product we are currently working on. So, we wrote a script to convert endpoints defined in YAML files to Postman workspaces. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

What inferences can we possibly draw from a movie that can be relevant to software development? Well, here’s my take (even if a contrived one) :) #snowpal #projectmanagement #homepagedesign Happy Sunday. Happy organizing on https://snowpal.com.

(Part 2/2) Reach out to the engineering community for help, sure. That's why we have more than all the help we need out there on Stack Overflow, Google and beyond. Yet, sometimes, we have the best solutions to our problems in ourselves :) So, always resort to relying on yourself. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

Say someone asked you to implement a "tiny" feature on an iPhone Mail App.Here's the (first part of the) requirement as Business provided it (to the dev team):- User can swipe right to left and when they do, 2 menu options should appear.- When you click on one of them, it should allow you to forward the email and when you click the other, it should archive it.Sounds simple enough?It should be simple till you get to the "the devil is in the detail" part. So, before I implement it, here are some questions I would have as a developer:- Can the user only swipe from right to left, or can they do vice-versa? And if they did that, what should happen?- If the user starts swiping but doesn't complete the action till they dragged it all the way to the very left, what should happen?- If the user swiped & performed an action but realized they were on the wrong item so wanted to undo, will they be able to do it? And if so, how?- Can they perform bulk actions? If so, is that a mutually exclusive action agnostic to the individual swipe?- After they swipe on one of the emails, say if they swiped on another. Will the subsequent action need to reset the state so the first one is now un-swiped?- Do we need to support multiple email accounts where each of them is rendered as a separate category? And if we did that, what should happen when a user swipes on one of the emails in each of those sections? Will that result in a reset of all states (of all other sections)?- And there's a few more I can think of off the top of my head but you get the idea.So, now, let me ask again:How simple is the design and implementation now? Did you have a change of heart and will you need to adjust your story points?"How hard can it possibly be?" :)#snowpal #projectmanagementKeep it simple. Keep it on https://snowpal.com. And just so that you can keep it simple, we do everything in our capacity to remove all the complexities. Rome was not built in a day as they say, and Snowpal 2.0 certainly wasn't either. We have built it brick by brick for your pleasure. Or, should I say, "swipe by swipe"? :)

My project ends next week per schedule (one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and another one where I'll surely miss the people), so I've been interviewing the past couple of weeks. While I typically, and predominantly do Technical Videos/Podcasts, I do enjoy these reasonably off-topic videos. In this series (yeah, no kidding - it took me over 35 minutes to share my thoughts, and I know you are not surprised!), I speak to my recent experience and where I think the interview process is still lacking. #projectmanagement #interview Crack your interviews by planning them on https://snowpal.com.

Mid 50s, bright and sunny. A brilliant day to share a fix for an SSL-related error I ran it on the AWS API Gateway.
