Yeah, maybe instead of actual hamburgers, recipes. Complex recipes.https://twitter.com/virtualsteve/status/732704725762629632 …

Like, say, recipes for tiramisu? Seems apt to be talking about desserts since this is an Android trial.
-
A recipe for tiramisu that doesn't involve premade ladyfingers. Like on the Great British Bake Show, which is some extremely fucked up TV
-
And some cakes are better than others! But a chocolate cake is still a chocolate cake.https://twitter.com/Slift/status/732706191248236544 …

Also, recipes are hard to create, takes a lot of labor, time, testing.

Yeah, here the cake analogy begins to break down quite a bit.https://twitter.com/joenievelt/status/732706323863764992 …

It might be better to compare it to a recipe book of French-style sauces, since those are often interdependent.
-
Anyways, I guess my cake thought experiment has gotten to the same place as we are in the trial: none of these things are actually like APIs

@nilixblue Twitter poll? -
which options, though
-
The file cabinet & the restaurant menu/hamburger are obligatory; also Alsup's library/bookshelf? Room for 1 more.

I think the "menu" example trivializes the art and complexity involved in API design.
-
Pah! There's no art in API 'design'. The design of an API is dictated by the functionality you must expose.
-
@PamelaSamuelson I don't agree--good APIs are HARD--but not everything that's hard is copyrightable. -
typefaces and recipes!
-
And fashion designs and phone books (think Feist) and more.

@nilixblue Um ... API == grammar, code == words#duringcommute -
Second thought: API == list of words in the dictionary, code== definitions written in the dictionary
