This article is intended to be rather short ™. I will discuss my latest tool https://github.com/adonese/ebs-live. As the name suggests, this tool simply converts EBS’s website into an API. Pretty simple right.

This will be a rather short post on Corona Virus you can read more on Wikipedia. My take on corona is from a slightly different perspective, an econmoical one. I’m neither a physician nor an economist, so take everything you read here with a huge grain of salt.

This post is not to discourage you from being an entrepreneur, it is just to tell you about the other hidden part of entrepreneurship. People always discuss and highligh the outcome part (be it a success or a failure). Rare actually discuss the day to day routine.

Preface

I wanted to write something about api design, how to design things that you and others can use. It went on debugging and refactoring with a slight mention at the end to a good design. I learned that all things break; every assumption you make will break. It is the natural process of system evolution. The idea is design for this. In microservices i often hear that term design for failure meaning that you have to consider failures as a factor in your system. Here the term could be quite the same, design for breaking the assumption.
