The Weekly Dev - 202241

The API Economy

The focus on new languages and new technologies sometimes has left behind the need for data interchange and durability.

Do not keep reinventing new ways to do do the same things if fewer application are then able to speak to each other:

the net result is a loss

Favor technologies that are contract-based: be explicit about the spec, and loose about the implementation details.

We want to build APIs that last longer than the languages they're implemented with.

We want our applications to be an investment, not just a temporary luxury: something that lasts.
