    API Evangelist Conversation with Dale McCrory, Software and Product Management Leader at Breeze Strategy

    I had a conversation with Dale McCrory, Software and Product Management Leader at Breeze Strategy about the business and product manager view of the API landscape. I am eager to hear from veteran API product managers like Dale about how we convince leadership to invest in APIs, but also API product managers. Dale has a healthy view of the business of APIs, and how this applies across the many different types of APIs we produce and consume--which is something we need more of in the API world to help balance our heavy focus on the technology of APIs over the last decade.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Robert Buchanan, API Evangelist Driving API Integrations and API First practices at Procter & Gamble

    Robert came by to share his wisdom on why APIs matter and I can always count on him for hot takes on the realities of our API operations. Robert was a constant back channel during my Breaking Changes days, but I never managed to actually get him on the show. Robert and are in alignment on where most of the deficiencies exist across the API space and I'd that we both share higher "technological morals" about what makes good APIs and what contributes healthy API operations. I definitely will have Robert back to talk about all the hot button issues with me.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Daniel Kocot, Head of API Consulting at codecentric AG

    Daniel Kocot joined me to share some wisdom from the trenches of API consulting about OpenAPI and TypeSpec, helping me better understand the motivations behind, how these specs can work in concert, and how different stops along the API lifecycle motivate our investment in different API specs.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Adam DuVander, Technical Content Strategist at EveryDeveloper

    I brought back my old friend and storytelling mentor Adam DuVander to reminisce about the old days of ProgrammableWeb, exploring the reasons behind its demise, but also what the current realities are for API producers in world where people really don't care about APIs, and more about the business solutions that they deliver.

    I dove into the challenges of running a highly curated global nutrition data API with Sebastian Loch, Business Development at FatSecret. He talked about his experience of running a modern API operations that has been around for years, but he also shared his challenges in putting artificial intelligence to work as part of their platform, as well as the uncertainty of providing high quality data via API in a world where AI consumes everything.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Stanislav Zmiev, Tech Lead of Platform Engineering at Monite

    A very focused conversation on change management and versioning with Stanislav Zmiev, Tech Lead of Platform Engineering at invoicing and bill pay provider Monite. Stanislav had an extremely nuanced and pragmatic view of API versioning, which I think sets the stage for a very healthy discussion for any company looking to version their mission critical APIs.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Pat Patterson, Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze

    This is the first actual edition of the API Evangelist Conversation podcast with my friend Pat Patterson, the Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze. Always enjoy learning from Pat as we dove into the meaning behind his title, as well as how Backblaze has standardized their API around the Amazon S3 storage API--essentially treating the API as the industry standard for storage.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Kin Lane

    This is the introductory pilot for the new API Evangelist Conversation podcast, where I interview myself (Kin Lane) to explore the new format, and work out all the kinks with producing and distributing this podcast. It is a little robotic and awkward as I interview myself, but something that will get more natural once I am talking to other human beings.

    API Evangelist Conversation with Tim Lane

    This is the second pilot for the new API Evangelist Conversations podcast. This is an off the record edition where I interview my alter ego Tim Lane, but obfuscate my voice and hide my face. Like the first one, it isn't that smooth as it is awkward to interview yourself, but I am also just getting started with all the production around this series.
