  • This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.

    Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.



  • Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it









  • It’s not about need it’s about efficiency. Milk lets you get calories, especially protein in a way that doesn’t kill the animal with less effort than hunting and gathering. That allows for a time and labor surplus that can enable specialization and society as a whole to exist. It’s not just drinking, butter, cheese, baking, and fermentation with it are super common uses.

    Biden gets a lot of credit for Covid, but he did very little on that front. The vaccines were something Trump actually did well in getting them developed ASAP. He did sign some additional spending related to Covid. Inflation wasn’t 100% his fault, but he did sign a lot of spending that probably shouldn’t have happened, the interest rate staying low under Trump was also a big contributor.
