I had a boss who read an article about APIs and then came to me and ordered me to start using them. I said I would research it and he went away and never mentioned it again. This was in 2010.
Pretty sure he read the famous Bezos email ordering everyone to implement and use APIs in Amazon
No, he actually showed me the article later. It was remarkable because it never said what an API actually was, or even stated what the initials stood for. In my memory it seems like it was obviously written by AI, but it couldn't have been 16 years ago (as far as I know).
So uhhhh have you started using APIs yet?
Still researching.
