Mastering API Design and Deprecation

Head of Developer Advocacy at Square, Richard Moot also leads the API design committee at Block. He explains the benefits of collaboration between internal API consumers and the API committee so guidelines are welcomed and internal developers don’t see the committee as an enforcement group. Richard shares the insight that APIs can be forever and every time a developer builds on a new API you should expect to support it for a long time. He also discusses ways companies are managing API changes and depreciation.
