The more I work with specifications and standards, the more I realise the power of accurate and shared vocabulary. This article about OAuth2 terminology is wonderfully short and precise! lrnja.net/49G1Ywa

The fundamental error all of these GenAI use cases make is in assuming that people will want to read something that other people couldn't be bothered to write.

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

As I do more with open standards (mostly OpenAPI), I realise that there is more to standards than writing them!

Two weeks ago, I said I would share more about what I wanted to do next. Well, I'm ready now!

I'm looking for a role where I can use my decade of developer-facing experience to help build technical products (and relationships) that developers will ❤️.

Read our love letter to the most under-appreciated aspect of OpenAPI: the info section: hubs.li/Q02nxG0Y0

Setting the scene and sharing the high-level information your API consumers need, don't overlook this metadata!

Looking forward to attending and speaking at the Tyk API Observability online event this week. The agenda looks pretty excellent and I'm sure we'll learn a lot. See you there? pages.tyk.io/en/leap-observ…

Just discovered this great clip of Chi Onwurah 💙 raising the Postcode Address File in Parliament a few years ago.

Hope her colleagues in the Lords will back the amendment that could liberate our address data - growing the economy and sparking innovation!

Really enjoyed putting together a cool DocOps tool (markdownlint) with a Redocly custom plugin to get Markdown linting in OpenAPI at the same standard I’d use on my content files. It found more problems than I’d like though!!

No More FAQs lrnja.net/3UFt9DQ - I looked up this post again today for reference, and figured I would share. We can do better than FAQs to convey information today - and respect our users' time and energy when we do.

Backup the projects you care about and be ready to fork them when the time comes. Software projects that are open source today aren't guaranteed to be open source tomorrow.
