There are a couple of changes more that arguably made the API worse:

* Event payloads changed to be “thin events”

* List endpoints became only eventually consistent

They also took away the “expand” parameter, which seems more useful that the new “include” one that works in some endpoints.

Generally their API design seems much more confusing and inconsistent nowadays. But to be fair their API is much bigger too. I guess it is hard to keep the same quality when you have so many engineers working on it.

For a different but related take on this, check the video game Blasphemous. It made me realise how dark the Baroque style and Catholic iconography can be when presented out of context.

I don’t get it. The game is not implemented in TypeScript types, right? It uses them to represent the code and has a custom interpreter for it.

They could have done exactly the same in JSON instead. Or using arrays like in LISP.

Cool project tho, but it is a very misleading explanation. Or did I miss something?
