  • 1000 API's and rapidly growing?

    by Lionell Griffith,

    I thought the Microsoft API fomenting cacophony was over the top. This is absurd beyond absurdity. Its a Ponzi scheme that will collapse under its own weight. No one can become competent with a 100 API's let alone 1000...2000...5000.... Its not even possible to pick a few right ones to bet your future on. That is if you expect your future to exist more than a few weeks.
