Jamie and I connected on the API's You Won't Hate Slack channel, where I started subscribing to his blog. After reading a post on versioning, and more specifically why you should start the version for your API at 0.1.0 instead of 1.0.0, I knew I needed to have him come for a conversation. I really enjoyed Jamie's calm and pragmatic approach to what web APIs are, what Semantic Versioning is, and how versioning and change management can really help us enable both API producers and consumers to stay aligned.
