I am the API Evangelist, making sense of the technology, business, policies, and the people of APIs since 2010 by surveying and assessing the public and private API landscape.
I think that Speakeasy's Agent Skills are a significant shift, and not for the reasons most people will be celebrating. apievangelist.com/2026/02/06/t...

I got asked for my opinions on Moltbook, and how it impacts what I am building at Naftiko. I do love using these moments to help me better understand what I am building, and where it fits into the many layers of hustle going on. apievangelist.com/2026/02/02/t...

I want to elevate & shine a light on the API governance rules schema Spectral, but also it's rebirth as Vacuum Rules, while acknowledging that it began back in 2016 as Speccy. I want to incite ongoing contributions to the schema, but also adoption of the variety of tooling. spotlight-rules.com
January 19, 2026 at 6:12 PM
I want to shine a spotlight on how far Spectral rules have come from their early days. These API governance linting rules have taken on a life of their own, and they deserve having more of the spotlight shown on why they matter, and how they are being used. spotlight-rules.com
