@adamchainz one of my favorite photos of my cats re-enacts this scene

@adamchainz Even better when it doesn't have versioning

@adamchainz you must not go there, or we'll get thousands of complaints on retro compatibility issues

@mehdi_benadel a thousand hyenas laughing as Simba tries to comprehend the labyrinth of code

@adamchainz oh god. felt. my last job literally hired me specifically to lead api v2

@rachaelspooky @adamchainz i am staring at this while requesting comments in my org for an "API v2" draft that i've just written up. ughhhhh.

@adamchainz I've definitely been part of the problem multiple times in the past. In my defense, it's surprising how many services replace a fully featured API with a far more elegant, better documented one that's missing some critical feature (although I'd be willing to bet most other cases are just people who don't want to figure out authentication with OAuth, and honestly: can't blame 'em).

@gordoooo_z @adamchainz also 95% of the developer documentation is written against v1 as well as 99.99% of code examples elsewhere on the internet.

@adamchainz *which corporate outsourced to the lowest bidder

@adamchainz

This hurt me in a place I didn't know could be hurt

@adamchainz If you would implement the other 75% of the functionality of V1, we might start migrating. Especially if you fix the performance problems in V2.
