We asked Steve:
What is your current role?
- Senior full stack developer at Koan Technology
What were your first experiences with APIs? or when you were the learning for the first time?
- lost in the mists of history. I've been using and building apis on and off for 20+ years
Are there any fun facts or key learnings throughout the years in tech?
- software is still more art than engineering. We design beautiful things that few people will ever see or even understand. When you stumble across a nicely built api that is fast and complete, its a rare joy to use. Lets make more of these happy surprises for those who follow us.
