The 3 Rules I Follow When Designing APIs That Last
I treat API design like writing a long-term contract: clear, predictable, and easy to extend.
Every endpoint I ship passes three quick checks:
1️⃣ Human readability — a dev should understand it in 10 seconds.
2️⃣ Test coverage — if it’s not tested, it’s not done.
3️⃣ Version control — break nothing for existing clients.
These small habits keep teams from rewriting APIs six months later.
