I need input on this new API design, i call if 'Functional APIs(fAPIs)'
Given that hacker news is mostly developer-oriented i would like your opinion as to why we don't use "HTTP APIs" as mostly single functions instead of the REST and GraphQL horrors i see on a weekly basis.
You have to understand that most APIs, most codebases, most designs, most documents, most ... everything
was done by people who did not receive the appropriated training in design patterns and has to glue something that worked in order to be proved by someone else
outside of a few orgs who chase excellency in every regard this is the reality for most companies, organizations and people. it makes sense given the circumstances they found themselves in.
it's actually quite impressive that anything works when you REALLY think about it
does anyone know how this differ from outside temperature?
