    It just goes to show the small parts of API design matter just as much as the big parts. I’ve worked with a lot of engineers who are so eager to draw big boxes and arrow architectural diagrams, but then just rush the details because that’s not important.

      A big part of my job is API integrations. The most infuriating one I deal with is a startup who keeps adding new properties with property names randomly being pascal case, camel case, or snake case. Especially when the same property is one case on a request model and different on the response.
