There are product teams, platform teams... But what about...
Developing APIs for other developers to use?
In this interview with Sophia Willows, we got to chat about how she's focused on that very thing!
It turns out that when you're building a system when you own the calling and serving side of an API you can get away with a few more luxuries. However, when your customers are developers who spend time getting their own code to work with yours -- you better think twice before changing that API!
Big thanks to Sophia for this talk -- I learned a lot!
