Two full-time employees at Terminal.Shop with health insurance benefits paid for by vc funding and your money, have decided to argue over singular vs plural naming conventions for API endpoints in the #general slack channel.
It all started when Adam Dotdev, a heckin' chonker of a plantboi, proposed plural naming conventions for API endpoints.
In response to these utterly ridiculous proposals, t-h-d-x-r (also known as Dax for some reason), proceeded to retaliate.
Despite his best efforts, Teej Dev Fries has not been able to convince them to reach a decision, even after pouring fuel on the fire.
Teej confirms that in thirty days, nobody will be able to see the conversation unless they pay for slack's Pro Plan which is really really expensive and nobody really wants to pitch in for that.
Near the end of the fight, Dax threatened to remove Adam from the github organization [souce].
In response to this, Adam took one of Mark Twain's quotes out of context and used it to support his point that plural naming conventions were better.
The final nail in the coffin was when Dax proposed using a single /rpc
endpoint for all API calls, or switching to GraphQL. Adam decided he didn't want to do a lot of refactoring and probably just decided to go with singular API endpoints.
