The Florida Effect
This is tiny improvements. I'm Mike Bifulco. I want to use the space as. A vehicle to explore thought and influence and psychology and cognition and all of the things that affect us in our day-to-day lifeย I've had a few conversations recently that have reminded me that the mind is a very fascinating machine. That there's quite a bit we do with this thing in our head, this very complicated chemical structure and. Physical structure that we don't really understand how it works, but. In some instances, in some circumstances we have a grapple on how s...

We talked about how the conference is shaping up, the kinds of talks they are hoping to put forward in the program, how it is organizing a conference under the Linux Foundation and how can you get involved with such an important, yet very niche, topic in our community.

The Swagger of OpenAPI
Sparked by this tweet, Matt and Mike have an informal chat about the whole Swagger to OpenAPI transition and why OpenAPI hasn't really been able to step away from the shadow of Swagger. We discuss ways communities members can help with pushing the OpenAPI naming over using Swagger, how SEO plays a fair bit into the whole thing and why naming things is just plain hard.ย

Sunsetting your API
Phil, Mike, and Matt get together for a discussion about how to safely sunset an API endpoint with the end goal being deprecation. We take a look at why its important to be overly communicative about it, what an appropriate length of time is from announcement to deprecation and how you can do it in a way that doesn't make your team or external consumers angry. We talk about the HTTP Sunset Header and the potential HTTP Deprecation Header and how those can make the process of knowing when APIs are being deprecated a lot smoother. We also looked...

Secure your APIs or why so much data was available from Parler.
Phil, Mike and Matt sit down to talk about Parler and why their APIs were so great for hacktivists who wanted to make sure that the data was never lost. We talk about degraded services and circuit breakers, two big things that probably could have kept the data from being exposed as well as stripping files of EXIF data from uploaded images. We also venture into the topic of what is the role of service providers and social media going forward. Sponsors:Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring you this podcast while we nerd...

Maybe GraphQL isn't so terrible? A conversation with Marc-Andre Giroux
A quick note before we get started: We recorded this episode back in April of 2020 when everyone was quarantining and making bread to post on instagram.

The API Handyman Cometh

We also ask Arnaud what he looks for while reviewing, the tools he uses to review API design docs and then Phil starts dreaming up what the ideal API Review tooling looks like. We also talk about life in quarantine, as France completely shut down...

200 OK Boomer
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...
