Personally Iโ€™d love to hear a dedicated episode on hypermedia and how it could relate to APIs and versioning (see how I bright it all together? lol).

Keep up the good work!

Another banger of an episode! Learned a LOT about versioning in general ABs SemVer in particular. And now I need to read the SemVer spec to see what Iโ€™m doing wrong lol!

Also, speaking of query param, I remember an episode from, like, last year you said that variable URLs are not exactly ReSTful. So wouldn't having the resource ID as query param be more ReSTful than `/resource/:id`? Mirroring something you said about pretty URLs being for people and not the machine

Follow-up question, WRT "being pedantically wrong about using HTTP verbs": can't we just use GET and POST for pretty much all API calls? If you want to query a resource you GET and any mutations is POST with a query param of the action being done.

Honestly Iโ€™ve learned a lot from you over the years. And by โ€œyouโ€ and mean โ€œyou and the other hosts of GoTime/Fallthroughโ€. Iโ€™m a hobby dev so Iโ€™ve never worked on a team before but listening to yโ€™allโ€™s episodes feels like hanging at the water cooler

Thank you for there explanation! Love what yโ€™all do and love your โ€œhot takesโ€ specifically.

Great episode! But still a bit confused on the self-descriptive message part. How does XML make for better ReST self-describing messages than JSON?

Completely on brand for @steveklabnik.com and @skriptble.me to talk about REST for two hours and still have more to say.

Is there anything we didnโ€™t cover but you wish we had? Should we talk more about how things like GraphQL are actually quite RESTful?

It sounds like the recipe sites! 800 words of background on why this or that. Like, dude, gimme the recipe! I don't need to know the background. You're not writing a novel! lol

Instead of fixing what's broke they opted to lash out? Seriously? That's wack.

The Codex Alera, by Jim Butcher. He was dared to make a book series from two random themes and he accepted. Was given โ€œPokรฉmon + Lost Roman Legion. Made a 6-book epic.

One of my favorite all-time stories!

I'm looking at adding more pre-recorded content on my YouTube channel focused on JavaScript programming (both browser and Node) and would like to know what kinds of things you'd like to see!

two programmers. First says, "that sounds. like AI. I thought you hated AI?" Second replies, "No, I don't hate AI. I hate the way you use AI" with a grin on her face

Pomodoro Timer with JavaScript Let's try AGAIN to make a simple but functional Pomodoro timer using HTML, CSS ,and JavaScript! Nothing fancy, but very functional

Ok, I'm going to try this one again. Going live (for REAL this time) over on YouTube in about 15min

Well, I went live but forgot to push the Go Live button on YouTube. So /sigh

Maybe I'll do it again some other time.

Definitely not a good idea, but sadly capitalism and common sense don't get alongโ€ฆI mean, if companies use LLMs to replace junior devs, where do they think they'll get the next batch of senior devs from? /sigh

To be fair, that's about all hollywood/TV is these days, too. An infinite loop of copy/paste of pop culture from the Before Times. No one is willing to take a risk on something new, and that's exactly what LLMs are, IMO: a conscious choice to regurgitate the past and not make a better future

Probably should have thrown some hashtags on theseโ€ฆ

That should cover it, yeah?

*Can* you use LLMs to help you be a better coder? Yes, it's a tool like any other. Should you let it *write* your code? Fuck no, that's dumber than my ex-wife. It's a tool that you should use, don't let you be the tool *it* uses.

Was having a chat with someone who's trying to learn programming and was concerned about LLMs and "AI". And I came up with what I think is the crux of my entire thought on them:

"If you let LLMs think for you, you'll never have an original though"

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’–
