I'm reading a lot of career-related content at the moment, and this week's #linkTuesday is actually TWO posts, both about job titles in tech. A great personal story from Will and a long but worth-it read from Gergely

Shared some of my usual API advice rant in polite form for the company blog. You have to find me in person if you want the less polite version ;).
When your API changes, how you let people know about it really matters. Version your API descriptions appropriately, create a meaningful changelog, and communicate, communicate, communicate! #APIManagement #APIs
