API mocking is a technique used to simulate the behavior of an API without actually connecting to the real API.

I am furious. Though I try not to humour conspiracy theories, or suggest that there is any grand overture to what is usually an uncaring and cold world, but I cannot ignore what is a transparently-synchronized movement against the tech industry’s workforce.

This is your regularly-scheduled reminder that OpenAPI 3.1 is more than 2 years old. If you're still working with older versions, you're holding back better developer experiences. Ask your API providers to upgrade, or look into doing so for your own APIs. It's worth it. #DevXLorna Mitchell (@lornajane)Mon, 13 Feb 2023 20:52 GMT
This week we invited our friend Mat Ryer to join us for some good conversation about some Git tooling that’s been on our radar. You may know Mat from Go Time and also Grafana’s Big Tent, which we help to produce. We speculate, we discuss, we laugh, and Mat even breaks into song a few times. It’s good fun.

I've just gotten around to looking at the analytics data that I have on my personal website and it's pretty wild looking at how I increased my readership ~1500% since 2016.
I don't have a 🧵 for you, but if you're interested, check out my site in review posts.
Maybe I'll talk more about what I've done for it - but it's not like I've done that much to try and boost engagement and readership, although colleagues and friends will disagree, as I'm quite openly trying to point people to my blog, as seen when I got promoted at Capital One.
These stats don't include anything around my Week Notes, as I don't count them as "blog posts" per se, and they'd definitely boost the numbers of posts for the years I've been doing them.
