Debunking the Myths of RPC & REST

Most are targeted at answering a question about using RPC or REST for a particular application, which in itself is a false dichotomy. The answers that are provided generally leave something to be desired and give me the impression that there are a slew of developers plugging RESTful architectures because [...]

One of those that was dropped was writing down weekly notes that focused on my development side projects (and honestly, even coding side-projects took a nose-dive). My last post was on March 1st 😱 So I’m doing a little reframing to make it feel a bit easier to write, thus the “Coding Adventure”.
