I've watched quite a few videos on api's, read articles, books, asked in the Q&A forms, and everyone was giving me the wrong impression, until now! Thank you man, this was great!
This talk is both funny and informative and thus totally entertaining. I love it! One great example of good API design I came across recently is Paper.js. Great API and great docs that are rife with relevant examples.
Saw this video a few days ago. I love watching tech presentations. The presenter here has real stage presence. Yeah, also, I categorically disagree with almost everything said. Specially, the notion of "Intuition-Driven Development". Intuition-Driven Development is the reason why I end up with screws and fixtures left over when I try to assemble Ikea furniture without reading the manual.
The blurb about Perl is funny, seemingly true to people that don't know any better, but ultimately kinda lame. E.g., The length function in Perl is a function not a method, because everything isn't an object, and as-such, expects a particular input (string), not whatever you want. Protip: RTFM.

I want more talks from this gentleman. What a fantastic talk.
great in-depth talk about designing API! thanks
Awesome explanation of APIs, examples, and in-depth analysis!
Well, that escalated quickly, Parse is shutting down in Jan,2017.
atleast the talk still stands :)

Brilliant presentation ! Really, really brilliant. Keep on !
amazing content
I hope you keep update :)
kudos for the speaker Kevin Lacker
nice talk, agree on the laziness and doc parts.
That's really Informative. Thanks :)
did he mention that he works for parse?
Great examples

Very good tutorial
Laziness is beautiful, that’s why mathematicians call a ‘lazy’ proof ‘elegant’.
Well, laziness is the most powerful emotion for most human beings after all
saveInBackground and saveEventually don't sound like good names, I can't quite guess the difference between them
great talk..
Thank you

Protip: RTFM.
He took shots at the PHP string library...TRIGGERED!
lame comparison... CONTEXT is very important thing in Perl... the presenter took LAME approach instead of LAZY approach...
This is not a very deep analysis of API design.
What did you expect from 30 minutes talk?
To laziness!
没国人?
Funny

4 years later (2017), parse has been shut down.
Probably for "bad API design". What an irony
