First draft of the blog post.

I don't like the ending a whole lot.

Oh, and an image from @dmdj03 would be nice. :)

My number one recommendation is to use the same scenario in all three examples to make it easier to compare.

steveklabnik commented 10 years ago

Ahh, that's a good point.

I would generally bring up how others in the industry are doing this. Balanced isn't the only company building an API. Does everyone face the same issues? How does everyone else solve the problem?

This is important for me. I hate building out custom systems and needing to maintain them. It's crazy to me that there's nothing else out there.

Do you think it makes sense/there's a way to build on the fact that we currently have 4 scenarios failing? It shows that it's working and tells us what we need to fix.

It's better than the alternative of us being oblivious, ignoring the issues, or being opaque.
