    The New Stack[^]:

    If there was any one company that should know how to build Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), it should be Amazon Web Services.

    Clap along if you know what APIness is to you

    Yeah. Sorry. Brain empty.

        They might design good API's, but their documentation sucks. Besides the circular layers of link hell, 90% of which points to obsolete stuff, their documentation is rather lacking, as are their examples - hard to find C# examples, last time I had to write something using one of their API's. Not to mention various implementations of authentication hell (and configuration) one has to go through first. Maybe other people's experiences are different?
