Thank you both. It was a good interview. I liked it. Maybe you can make one more after some time. 👍

[@alejandro_ao]

absolutely 😎

[@ravenecho2410]

@52:00, thats actually such an insightful idea, of an adaptibe api... i not on both ends on one end. I fe like u would always want the hard api and documentation as it qould specify the contract... But thats really fuggin interesting

[@alejandro_ao]

yeah, it might become an extra layer under the hard api (or maybe some systems will work completely on natural language?). the thing that relying on natural language for inter-application communication will bring the problems of human language to computers (aka. misunderstandings and clarity issues)

[@richardraymond2858]

Are you on Spotify
