7:15 "Make sure to name the API route files as `route.js`. That's how they differ from other `page.js` routes" ... Next.js API design in a nutshell. Why didn't they call API routes 'api_route.js' or 'http_requests.js' so you can actually differ API routes from other routes? Now people will wonder if 'route.js' will override the filesystem routing or whatnot..
