API Intersection

This week on the API Intersection podcast, we spoke with Shanae Chapman, senior UX researcher at HashiCorp and founder of Nerdy Diva, which focuses on inclusive design and empowering the next generation of designers and developers with knowledge and resources to succeed in a technology career and make for a long-lasting, community impact.

When it comes to creating a more inclusive API program, Shanae stresses that you should "start with the highest impact, high-priority, high-traffic systems and tools first and then work your way down. It takes time, so have grace with yourself and your teams. As long as you are making progress towards a goal, it matters in the end."

What is API Intersection?

Building a successful API requires more than just coding.

It starts with collaborative design, focuses on creating a great developer experience, and ends with getting your company on board, maintaining consistency, and maximizing your API’s profitability.

In the API Intersection, you’ll learn from experienced API practitioners who transformed their organizations, and get tangible advice to build quality APIs with collaborative API-first design.

Jason Harmon brings over a decade of industry-recognized REST API experience to discuss topics around API design, governance, identity/auth versioning, and more.

They’ll answer listener questions, and discuss best practices on API design (definition, modeling, grammar), Governance (multi-team design, reviewing new API’s), Platform Transformation (culture, internal education, versioning) and more.

They’ll also chat with experienced API practitioners from a wide array of industries to draw out practical takeaways and insights you can use.
