How to Design a Good API

If you do any software development, programming, or even scriptwriting, you need to watch the whole hour of this.

Apropos of which, I asked an aerial community I'm on to recommend me a coach in Seattle while I'm there, and someone recommended Versatile Arts, which is Beverly Sobelman. So I pinged her to book a couple of lessons while I'm there. We never actually met when she was in Melbourne, somehow.
