The Weekly API Cocktail – Issue #3

Each week we carefully handpick content about APIs, AI and the evolution of our jobs in software engineering. Yes, by «hand» we mean a part of an actual human.

This week, I got my eyes on a quite old article (2007) from Dilbert author Scott Adams about writing good content (2min read)... 20 years later, it can’t me more true! A good introduction to the shorter format I’m trying this week (feedback welcome).

#tech

• I still care about the code, by Birgitta Böckeler

• LisaGUI … For the nostalgics

• How do you teach computer science in the age of AI? (a thread on slashdot)

• Why We Should Focus on AI for Women (by Shuyang)

#apis

• Most RESTful APIs aren't really RESTful

#llms

• Software engineering with LLMs in 2025: reality check (Gergely Orosz, 25min video)

• A non-anthropomorphized view of LLMs

• The Hungry, Hungry AI Model

#tools

• You can use `fzf` to review git commits, a TIL by Julia Evans

• Backlog.md, a markdown‑native Task Manager & Kanban visualizer for any Git repository

• sst/opencode: AI coding agent, built for the terminal.

• nikvdp/cco: A thin protective layer for Claude Code

• Wasm-agents: AI agents running in your browser (by Mozilla)

• openvenues/libpostal: A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world

That’s all for this week! I hope the shorter format makes the content easier to read, let me know.
